felony affect visa?

[mikeymissesher 0]

i got my noa1 on 5-12-08 and have been waiting since then with no responce . i called USCIS again today and they said that they are doing the backround / security checks etc. , i am wondering if possibly my past criminal record is what is taking so long to get a responce or approval. back in 2001 i got arrested for a burglary and spent a little over 2 years in prison , and since i got out i have been a productive member of society with no problems at all with the law. I dont have any criminal record like domestic violence or hurting any one ect. just that theft charge . i heard it was ok as long as you dont have a charge of hurting women , which i would never due of course! me and my Fiance have both never been married before , so i know that is not delaying anything. Please let me know what you think. thanks again.

Hi, I think this link refers to the beneficiary and I believe the OP is the USC petitioner. He wants to know will his past U.S. record hurt his petition, is that right?

I heard from a friend I recently met about a situation just like yours.

It didn't actually hurt the petition but on the day of the interview, the beneficiary was told about the past criminal records of the petitioner. (I just forgot the prison record that the petitioner had).

She was told to withdraw her petition rather than pushing through the whole process. They pre-screener and CO actually discouraged her to push through the k1 petition. So, what the beneficiary did is that she withdraw the process and dumped the petitioner. It was actually sad.
