Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)601: criminal waivers

ALSO, WHAT IF THE CRIME IS CONSIDERED ONE THING IN THE FOREIGN COUNTRY AND ANOTHER ONE HERE? HOW DO THEY ADJUDICATE THAT??


The rule is what it would be considered in the US - it's the consulate of the US and the law of the US that you are dealing with.




her husband is french citizen not USC so he needs the french police record bulletin n3, the same one they asked me and provided.

ALSO, WHAT IF THE CRIME IS CONSIDERED ONE THING IN THE FOREIGN COUNTRY AND ANOTHER ONE HERE? HOW DO THEY ADJUDICATE THAT??

i.e. my husband didn't present his child for visitation with his ex for x amount of time. in the us, that might be considered kidnapping, but NOT in france.

any thoughts? :wacko:

thanks. :help:

immigrant visas

As of January 22, 2007, consular offices abroad were instructed to cease accepting certain immigrant visa petitions because consular officers lacked the means to perform the required criminal background checks on American citizen petitioners, as required by the Adam Walsh Act. Subsequently, the Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) worked to develop a mechanism whereby USCIS will perform these required "Adam Walsh Act" checks for any petitions accepted abroad by consular officers.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, the U.S. Embassy in Paris will accept I-130 petitions for immediate relative immigrant classification from American citizens who have been continuously, legally resident in France for at least the six months prior to petition filing. Individuals, who are in the country on a temporary status, such as student or tourist, do not meet this residency standard.

All lawful permanent residents (“green card” holders) and U.S. citizens resident in the United States or with a permanent address in the United States will file I-130 petitions at the USCIS service center in the United States having jurisdiction over their place of residence. A list of service centers is included in the instructions with downloadable form I-130.

If you are eligible to file in Paris, please click here for further instructions and information.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)police records from France

my husband will have a conviction (maybe six months' jail) shortly, however, his French lawyer tells us this is only considered a civil not criminal infraction and this will not be in the 3rd Bulletin (most commonly requested).

I know there's 3 Bulletins in France and that the 1st, for example, only the top police officials can request it. 2nd I guess it middle of the way (like employers, etc.)

Can anyone tell me if they've encountered anything similar at all?

I wonder if the US would consider it criminal if France doesn't. Plus it may not even be in the police report my hubby orders for his interview.

:help:




french police record required by the us embassy is the 3rd one u should be okay https://www.cjn.justice.gouv.fr u can order it online its free and u will get it in 3 days

Welcome Claudia! Did bostonparis' answer help answer your question? I'm sorry to hear your husband got deported... hopefully he wasn't banned from re-entering? I hope the visa process goes quickly for you both. (F)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Cécile, congratulations! I had a feeling you two would end up doing that. :D :D

All's well with Saint-Clair and I. My time off from work starts next Wednesday, April 4th - 16th. All in that time we'll be moving into our awesome new apartment... job hunting with his temp EAD... and getting married. :D We've settled in well and it's just such a relief to have him here. I love him. :wub: I probably won't be around much just because I'm, err, pre-occupied :lol: but I'll try to check in whenever I can. :)

Bostonparis... GOOD LUCK with today's interview! Bring your baby home, and let us know how it goes!


Thank you Angilla! I talked to him about 15 minutes ago, and he was on the Metro - he should be there already!

My stomach is in knots!!


Don't worry. There is no reason why they would refuse you that. I'm sure he is currently waiting in the embassy room with all kinds of other people and that in a few hours he'll call you. :)


Oh, thank you Cecile... I just keep thinking through everything that we put together, thinking, "was it enough?" I'm nuts! :)



i was like u and i feel stressed even after they aproved the cr1 coz they had to mailed to us home and today i got my visa in hand my mightmare is over

Angilla, I'm DCF not K3.

All DCF interviews were cancelled because of the new Walsh law (look on the DCF thread it's all explained). I hope they will work it out soon, this is messing it up for everyone.

Hmm, what I'll miss when I move back to SoCal, tartiflette, raclette (though you can buy it on amazon along with the machine) goose liver, cheap health care and free preschool.

What I'm looking forward to, good mexican food, donuts and the beach, watching the sun set over the Pacific listening to the waves, lots of outdoor activities.

Sheigh



Some good news i got today from the US Embassy in Paris for who get interviews cancelled coz walsh law
That few I-130 Petitions are back to the Paris US Embassy from the USCIS Roma office after have been checked...

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-4 Not Needed?

I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is no.. but for my sanity's sake: :blush:

I am a USC. My husband and I are expecting our first in June. Obviously the baby isn't on any of his petitions ( being that she isn't born yet!) but if she manages to come before his K-3 is final.. I do NOT have to file a K-4 for my US born daughter, right?





No u dont need to file out a K4 for ur daughter coz she is gonna be US citizen, but as soon she get borned you must registrate her birth at the US embassy and make her an US passport there if you are living abroad.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMedical Exam with Child

Congratulations to all those who just received their May Medical and Interview dates.....Jinky and I too.........Jinky's medical exam is scheduled for May 8th and the interview is May 15th. She will try to re-schedule her medical early....maybe May 1st. Anyway, I have searched the site for any information related to the medical exam with child. We have a three year old son who will accompany her for the medical exam...does anyone know what the procedure is for the exam when a child is involved. I guess what I am really asking is...will our son be allowed to accompany Jinky throughout the exam...and will he receive his exam at the same time? Since our son is only three, I can't imagine that they would separate the two of them, but I have never seen anyone post their experience with an exam which also included a child. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.






hi,

i had this experience..

if u have a child with a foreigner and u are an USC your child will become an USC with an US passport and u dont need any medical exam... but for that u must registrate his birth as soon as possible at the US embassy and ask for an US passport in the same time.

If the child is not having an USC father or mother you must make him an medical exam to immigrate in USA.

I HOPE I WAS CLEAR.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow much effect will it have if I attend the interview?

See, and some people from Colombia actually advise the USC to be at the interview. I've read of 2 posts where they said they went to the interview but they noticed that everyone who was there by themselves did not receive a visa.

I think if you can take time off from work and can afford to go, it would't hurt to be there at the interview.


Yes, I've heard that about several places, Colombia being one of them.




I HAD MY INTERVIEW IN PARIS US EMBASSY LAST THURSDAY AND MY HUSBAND CAME FROM THE US FOR THE INTERVIEW, THATS MAKES THINGS EASIER COZ THEY DIDNT ASKED ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP AND NO PROOF WAS ASKED BUT I HAVE TO SAY WE HAD A CHILD TOGETHER BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED AND SHE 2 YEARS OLD AND SHE IS AN US CITIZEN, I THINK IT WAS THE BEST PROOF SO HE JUST CHECKED THE FILE AND APROVED RIGHT AWAY WITH NO QUESTIONS SO...
