ADAM WALSH ACT WAS BEAT

[A and T 82]

Congradulations!!!

My husband is a convicted sex offender too. I have a question concerning on our case, please help us out by answering my question if you could.

We received the NOID letter from USCIS in October. However, before they make the final decision, they ask we submit the evidence to show my husband "pose no risk to both me and my daughter". My husband went to see a psychologist and did sevral test including the polygraph test. However, the doctor say they can not issue any absolutely positive report to mention he has no risk since they can not do this to anyone. Could you tell me how you did on your case to show you have no risk to your wife. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A polygraph will never be able to show "No risk"... What it should demonstrate is a positive result that your husband has truthfully indicated that he:

1) Has not committed another sex offense since his conviction.

2) Has complied with all of the conditions of his sentence.

3) Recognizes that he did wrong (accepts responsibility) and is remorseful of his actions.

Likewise a counselor can give a report or letter stating only what they know to be factual such as "He has continued to attend counseling session and/or actively participates in offender groups therapy" and things of that nature which demonstrate a desire on his part to not re-offend.

How do you know this information? were you an adam walsh filer?

How do you know this information? were you an adam walsh filer?

No, not an AWA Filer but I do know a lot about Sex Offender Recovery, Treatment, Probation and such.

A counselor who knows his business would never sign a document stating that anyone (even someone with a clean criminal record) poses absolutely no risk of {insert offense} to someone else because they know that not convicted doesn't mean never done it and also that there's a first time for everything.

A professional counselor/polygraph operator etc who makes such a declaration isn't trustworthy.

They can say the things I've stated safely though.

here is what happened so i arrived inside ambasy....they took my fingerprints than i went to sign forms 156 and 156k....and give the criminal record passport and all documents they need...than after a while i went to give the evidences...that moment the lady ascked me"Do u know about ur fiance convinction?",so i answered "yes i know".....than she sayed :"ok...please write a short letter saying you know about his conviction and despite that you will still marry him".

so i did that after a while they acsked me to go close and a lady Us Consul ascked me few questions :

"How you and your fiance meet?"

"How many times he visited you?""Did you ever visted US before?"

"what job he has?"

"Do you planne to get marry and where?"

Congratulations for everybody who got approved!

reading through this story, I saw a few people wrote that they submitted proff that they are not risk to a beneficiary. A lot of people (new petitioners) know the necessity of this step and send it all with petition. I wonder, those who sent it separately from petition, did you have to wait for NOD and RFE or you did it by yourself?

how long did it take for any USCIS respond on proff you sent?

Thank you!

Hi. We are new to visa journey and is an Adam Walsh filer as well. It is only on this site that I have seen any approvals and we are very hopeful that our petition will be approved. Just a brief background on our case, me and my husband were married in 2008 in Texas and filed for our I-130 in April. We had our initial interview in June and that was when they told us that we needed to submit evidence that he poses no risk to me. He did the biometrics and we submitted documents from his case from the attorney who handled his case. He was still under parole at that time. Then we heard nothing. He was released from parole in December of 2009 and we received our NOID on april 27 asking for more evidence that he poses no risk. Since our filing, we had a son who is a year old right now. He does not have any prior convictions and did not have any problems with his parole officer. He was seen by a psychiatrist and did a polyraph test as well and his parole officer gave us a letter which we forwarded, but they still gave us the NOID. In a way it's a relief that we got the NOID, at least we know that things are moving along but I am scared of what will happen if we do not give them enough evidence and we get denied, will I be deported? I cannot even bear to think that I will be separated from my family, they are all that I have. Me and my husband work hard to provide as much as we can for our son. Any insights from other AWA filers would be very much appreciated.

I can not give to you any advice in regards to your process I have no experience except for our K-1 process we are still in.

I will say the need for an attorney is there; as with any complicated case I recommend hiring an immigration attorney.

Some would say you do not need an attorney and that may be true but for us having the attorney lowers the stress levels and has helped our process move somewhat quicker than others by being proactive.

Also being new here some may ask what the offense was that made your husband an AWA filer; I do not believe this matters as much and a competent attorney should tell you the risks.

Read through the posts here on VJ and learn what other AWA filers did to be successful.
