First off, Hello to everyone I am new to your forum and this is my first post. I just submitted our 129F petition last week to the Ca. center. They will probably be sending back to me or request information concerning the new law. First is Cherry Blossoms fall under International Mail Order Bride Site? Second, back 20 years ago I had a really bad year. I recieved a DUI the day my grandmother past away then a few weeks later I walked in on my live in girl (not wife) and a fight broke out. I ended up going thru a diverision program which I think was to keep this out of my record.

Tomorrow I am going to our local police to get them to run a crimnal back ground check on me. If this does not show up do I have to report it? If it does what is going to happen? That was twenty years ag. I am not even close to being that man. Will they deny our petition for a mistake made 20 years ago? That really is not fair. I know the Lord has forgiven me but now I have to see if Home Land Security will. :help:

My understanding of IMBRA and how it affects those of us filing a I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance is that the USCIS wants alien fiances to be aware of who they are intending to marry. Some petitioners might have chosen to not reveal any prior criminal convictions to their fiance, specifically violent offenses, and USCIS intends to reveal such offenses to the foreign fiance upon interviewing at the appropriate US Embassy. I do not see this new law and revision to the I-129F as being an attempt by Congress to block American citizens with convictions in their backgrounds from marrying their foreign fiances (at least, I hope I am right, because I do have a conviction in my background). I would suggest you go to the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov) and read the public notice of this change to the fiance visa process (the link is located on their home page), and also look at the newly-revised I-129F petition...it lists the offenses which you must report and provide certified documentation on.

Have you used the new form? http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/for...iles/I-129F.pdf

If so, you've already answered questions on criminal stuff. Be sure to check the threads on IMBRA: there's lots of info there for you.

Also, have you been convicted by a court of law? If not, you should be fine.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.
