2002 Crimanal Record, would it make a difference?

[jjhanekom 0]

My husband is from south africa, he has been to the us twice, both times leaving before his visa expires. Ok, the problem actual is that they ask if you have a crimanal record, he applied for this through an company and it came back that he has no crimanal record. He then applied for the job he has now and they also did a crimanal check on him which came back saying that he doesnt have anything. If he did then they would not have employed him becuase its a high risk position.

Well, 2 months ago he applied for his police clearence, only to find out that he does have something in his name. It was an assault case in 2002. He wasnt locked up or given a fine of any sort. Will this count against him and if so what can we do to over come this? He has the 2 documents where it says he has nothing against his name. But the epolice records say he does. What can we do??

Thank you in advance

Well first of all, did he commit this offense in 2002? If not, he will need to try to have the record removed. If so, maybe its best to get a transcript of the outcome of the occurance. Cause if its on record ,some type of finalization verdict is somewhere on the case and offense. ither it wqas dis-messed, or charges dropped, something.

Not all back ground checks can come up the same, depends how deeply the parties look. But he truly needs to look into this and get it straighten out.
