Salamu alaikum !!!
could someone please help me !!!
i ve just received RFE and it says
You MUST provide "certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction. This is required even if your records were sealed or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no longer have a record."
although my fiance indicated on the I-129F form that he has never been convicted of the crimes outlined on it, a government search of his records came back that he has been.
does anyone has the same RFE ??
does anyone knows if bad police report affect K1 visa????
PLEASE HELP helpsmilie.gif


Your quote is incomplete. How have you concluded the RFE isn't an error? Did it actually say a government search came back indicating this need?

If the records do exist, they must be obtained and sent in.

police report and court convictions, that's all that our lawyer asked for!!
my fiance sent an express request to state to get the police report but it will be sent back in few days!!! and we'll send it right away!!
thanks for your help

You have to be careful!
I know of a sad case where the fiancee of the petitioner was arrested for drugs along with the petitioner at his house the day after her arriving in the US.
Filipina with no money . People said she didn't know anything about what was going on.
Never did hear what happened to her.

thanks again rose.gif but it's not my subject here i am asking what should we do if they deny us is there any other kind of petition that we can file or just send back I129F petition...?
my fiance is not drug dealer and he doesnt use drugs, he was going everyweek to see probation office and they were always testing him to see if he had drugs on his blood and never found that besides the probation officer is very nice with my fiance cuz he know he îs not doing troubles any more and now he go once a month just to state that he still working and give them copies of his pay stubs...anyway my baby changed and no fear from his past i trust him good.gif

Take it EASY! I'm sure your partner, having experience in the CJS knows well enough that things he tries to do legally now will be scrutinized. I hope you hear something soon. I was hoping, and still am, that there isn't anything else on his record that you don't know about. I worked in the CJS for 30 years, and almost everyone "didn't do it... wasn't them... it was the other guys drugs...didn't know it was stolen...the police set me up..."

thanks for the support, its really hard to wait knowing they could deny us for any simple reason blink.gif
my fiance sent me his police report before sending it to the USCIS, basically i know everythings about his past!!
we called USCIS the guy there said they are still working on november 2007 RFEs, i am really disappointed knowing its not our turn yet, but the lawyer says he ll call after june 9 th if nothing then we should expect more 60 days !!!
the problematic question is "what if we wait all that long and they deny us?"
that's not fair!
any advice could be good in this situation?

QUOTE (Mark and Hannah @ Jun 2 2008, 04:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Since you have stated that your fiance is on probation until December 2008 this is likely the reason for his having to provide further information. Hopefully once they have received what they have asked him to provide all will proceed smoothly for you both, and it is likely they will merely disclose this information to you at interview.

As far as I can interpret this based on the information to hand, the worst case scenario would be that you have to wait for his probation period to end. The reason for this would be that if he were to violate the terms of his probation he may face further time in jail (depending on the specific terms of this) and he would therefore not be in a position to provide for you. I'm not suggesting for one moment that he would do so, merely trying to point out how it might be regarded. In which case he could go ahead with plans to move to be with you, you could marry, and then file for a different type of visa secure in the knowledge that the probation issue had been resolved.

Of course it is equally possible that his name check just indicated a 'needs to be checked' type flag on their system and that once they have seen the detailed information they have requested you will be fine.

Hang in there.

Thank you very much Mark and Hannah u r very helpful rose.gif hope u will get the visa very soon inshallah good.gif

As for my case, i wish they have now everything they need and give us the approval as soon as possible,
u r right the worst scenario would be if they make us wait till the probation will be over blink.gif especially my baby feels guilty for this wait, he everyday says to me i am sorry for that i am paying now and u also pay with me what i did crying.gif
but thank God we have faith and i don't blame him cuz it's destiny anyway,
my fiance called USCIS this morning the guy there told him to call the june 8th and not to expect the decision of our case he says it might be just a response for the RFE(is it what they needed or they need something else).
please i keep me in ur prayers innocent.gif
thanks.

Unless I'm reading something different, you mention in your original post that he got an RFE for a police report, and that he didn't check that he had a criminal history? They must have found this out by running his name through some system once the application was received. Are you sure there might not be other convictions? Perhaps what is holding things up is that he never checked the box saying he was convicted of any crimes. They then found out that this wasn't true, and are asking for the police information? I would think this isn't a good thing that he didn't disclose this on the original application.

he had never been convicted for the crimes listed in the I129F, they mentioned three times or more convictions of drug crimes but he went to jail only once for drugs!! they don't mention stealing crimes!!!!!

the probation again could be deferred sent or suspended sentence, just going to jail just means u were arrested when u go to court you get the sentence his rap sheet may not show guilt again if deferred is not guilt, suspended would be....

how to get that please help me!!????? helpsmilie.gif

I never heard of anyone at this point getting denied, not sure what the drug issue will cause, but if that is the problem getting married wont help i wouldnt think. Was it a deffered sent, what was the outcome...for now have a state rep do so work for you and find out whats going on.

thanks for the reply that makes me feel better but i really need advices about what to do is there any other option than k1 to be with him or should we resent the petition?

PS: i don't understand what does the red sentence means?


im asking about his sentence of the crime, did he receive a deferred sentence (which is no guilt) compared to a suspended or just guilty period. Ithink u just have to give it a wait and see time to find out what u will need to do

yes for drugs he was with friends in his car and one of them were carrying drugs and drop it inside the car when the police officer stoped the car cuz of speed. his not guilty but he went to jail for like 5 weeks.
for the other charge he had stollen staff of his friend who let it at his house, my fiance didnt know it was stollen someone called the police saying he got stollen staff at his house when the police officers got in they found a not authorised gun under a pillow too !! in this charge i think he spent 6 months in jail and now he is in probation.

I agree you need to just wait and see what happen. No need to worry before you need to and it may not be an issue. Try to relax, I know that is hard but right now it is out of your hands anyways. I am sure it will be fine, and if something happens then there may be others who have been in the situation and can give you good advice.

thanks i am really trying to relax and not worry so much but it took so much which making him worried and then he makes me worry about it too !!
i am relying on GOD cuz he got the final decision, please pray for me !! i need prayers innocent.gif

This is only an assumption but it would explain the added security measures that went into effect just last year...

An excerpt from the Adam Walsh Child Protection Law...

The Act also for the first time limits the rights of citizens or permanent residents to petition to immigrate their spouse or other relatives to the U.S. if the petitioner has a listed child sex abuse conviction. If that is the case, then the petition cannot be approved unless the Department of Homeland Security determines in its unreviewable discretion that there is no risk of harm to the beneficiary or derivative beneficiary.

I know that his convictions were not related to children or sex abuse but i'm sure there is added scrutiny when something is found and even more security measures that are making them dig a little deeper to be sure you are not in harms way when you do arrive. I'm sure you trust and love him but they are probably looking out for your good.

Nobody can tell you if you will get pass this step but there are always waivers and whatnot so don't start to panic just yet. wink.gif

we can't wait anymore we waited enough crying.gif
in case they deny us we have to try again or try something else but Mark and hannah is right it's the same because all will be treated in USCIS.
i am just wondering why it's different he says that it will take only an hour to marry if he wants to marry someone there then why they r not looking for the good of the people there!! that's not making any sense !!!
i know his past he told me everything and if that's not working then in january 2009 he will come to live with me here in Morocco.

Well there is nothing you can do at this point but wait for the decision on your petition. I am assuming that your fiance had a er... colourful past and is now a reformed character, but it may well be that there is a legal requirement to disclose this information to you at interview since they have to consider the possibility that you may be unaware of these prior convictions and that such knowledge might effect your decision to marry him. Remember that the US government takes a very dim view of drug related crime. If the crimes were recent and he served time in jail, it may effect their decision regarding his ability to vouch that he would be responsible for you financially, also, if he were still under probation or something like that it might be an issue.

Once you receive the decision notice from USCIS you will be able to think things through from there. I think it unlikely that your petition will be denied since it is YOUR suitability to enter the country that is being examined at this stage. However, if the petition was denied for reason of his criminal history there is really very little you can do to be able to lawfully enter the country since the same issue would come up if you filed another type of petition such as a K3.

thanks for the reply Mark and Hannah rose.gif
yes my fiance was crazy before, he did big mistakes in his past but i love him and that means nothing for me as long as he changed fully recently he has a good work and we r going to use a co-sponsor anyway for support,
the problem is he till in probation which will be over december 2008:(

Hi all
i am so worried i can't hide that anymore!!!!
we sent the petition to VSC at the end of january2008 and we received the RFE march 11th they were asking my fiance US citizen for his police report (he was arrested many times but went to jail ( convicted) 2 times for selling drugs and the 2nd was for stealing) when we sent the I129F petition it doesnt mention these things that's why he didnt check the box of being convicted for the crimes listed in it.
the lawyer says they shouldn't deny us for that even if he was convicted for the crimes listed in the I129F , he says they want just to let me know at the embassy interview!!!
i dont know why they can deny us!!!! he has never convicted for the crimes on the list !!!!!

the status of our case says they will send us a written update or decision for our case within 60days after they received our RFE!!!
NOW it is almost 60days and no update no decison nothing !!!!!!!! crying.gif crying.gif

my question is what should we do if they deny us??
any answer is appreciated rose.gif

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)section 221g long delays
I wish good times for everybody
I, Hicham Mohamed Ezzaroualy am Moroccan of nationality of 25 years where I was born in Casablanca in 1982, I Just had my degree in Linguistic from the University of Misturata Faculty Literature English Department, Misurata, Libya where I am living with my family there more than 17 years ago.

Lois Ann Rosenquist Brum has been my wife since 27 January 2006. she is a U.S. citizen where she was born in Fort Bragg, NC. Her father served in the U.S. Army for 22 years, she is a Bookkeeper for Colorado Outdoor Power Equipment.

Lu and I met on the Internet in May of 2003 and began to exchange email, chat on line, and just discuss the crisis of the world today. my first initial conversations was to inform her that not all Arabs or Muslims were terrorist. Lu and I developed a friendship through our conversations. We talked about a number of things that interested us both and we fall in love.

On 25 October 2003, I proposed marriage, which was quite a shocking surprise and requested several weeks for her to think about this wonderful proposal. At the end of the allotted time, she gave me her answer and said YES.

Lu and I discussed many things: We talk about building a life together and as time passed the love continued to grow. We corresponded through emails, instant messages, and photographs, handwritten letters.

Towards the end of 2004, we started talking about plans for our marriage. She filed I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé (e). On page 2: Question 18: Has you Fiancé (e) met or seen you? She had written a description of circumstances of why we had not met, which were the following:
1. Hicham Ezzaroualy was a student in Misurata, Libya and a Moroccan National.
2. For an American access for entry was by invitation of a Libya national only. Hicham nationality is Moroccan.
3. The relations with Libya and the USA were undesirable and my safety was of great concern to Hicham.
The information of the denial and returned I-129F Petition consisted to no physical meeting of each other.

In 2005, we preceded the process to meet and marry in Morocco. She arrived in Mohamed V Airport on 6 January 2006, we followed all the proper procedures of papers that she need for us to marry. she had copies of the two divorces, her background check, birth certificate, and I had all papers translate into Arabic as required my Law. It took a good couple of weeks to follow all the proper steps for the paper work to be completed. Then we were married on 27 January 2006.

When my wife returned to U.S.A on 1 February 2006, She started with filling the I-130, filed April 4, 2006 as the PRIORITY DATE and the RECEIPT DATE: April 12, 2006. The I-130 NOTICE TYPE: APPROVAL NOTICE SECTION: HUSBAND OR WIFE OF U.S. CITIZEN, 201 (cool.gif INA. Once she received this notice of the Received date of April 4, 2006, she filed the I-129F RECEIVED DATE: MAY 12, 2006 and the NOTICE DATE: MAY 17, 2006. NOTICE TYPE: APPROVAL NOTICE VALID FROM 08/02/2006 TI 11/30/2006 CONSULATE: CASABLANCA

I arrived for my appointment for the interview on October 5, 2006. it was more of an interrogation instead of an interview for a visa. Out of all those for interview for visas I was the only one interrogated for five and a half (5.5 hours). I was asking the CO time to time to have some rest because I was too much stressed and under great pressure due to the silly questions that CO was asking me and repeat the same questions all the times and for me I had to repeat the answers every time. I am stating to the best of my knowledge.

The information CO told me that my visa was illegible due to section 221(g) and they were returning the packet to the United States.

we contacted the Embassy in Morocco on November 15, 2006 by E-mail inquiring about this Section 221 (g); but they informed us that our inquiry should be directed to the USCIS Since then, My wife have made numerous phone calls to the USCIS but we only been beating death horse. And all we heard from CSC is to call after 45 days or 90 days.

God !! It is now more than 10 months and we are still waiting for the reason of section 221g and waiting for the document or evidence that they may need but we hear nothing from USCIS.
Guys I need your help to know something, these long time process really makes me and my wife in great sorrow! I have only 35 days more to reach 11 months of waiting, and for section 221g you have only 11 months to present what they asked you for otherwise your petitions will be expired and you need to re-apply again. I wonder if there is ability to extend our petitions since we heard nothing back from the USCIS .
Guys we are really appreciate for your help and notes, and let me tell you that my wife had an accident in her car and she may went into a surgery of her right knee replacement.
Please once again I am trusting of Visa journey society to offer us some ideas.
Respectfully,
Hicham
