IMBRA RFE Requirement

[michellek1976 0]

OK I have a question...

We received the IBMRA RFE and fiance has a record he needs to disclose. Today he went down to the court and requested the certified copy of the court record. It is about 13 pages long but does not include a 'police report'. Do I need to send him to police station to request police report as well or does court record cover this?

We're anxious to send it back but don't want to omit something if it will be rejected as being incomplete.

Advice appreciated.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I went to the court house and got the certified copies and attached a letter of explanation (crime involved, date of disposition, sentence, definitions of dispositions PBJ etc.., definition of the crime) that the application asks for. "Using a separate sheet(s) of paper, attach information relating to the conviction(s), such as crime involved, date of conviction and sentence."

I send my application in without the police record since the application is asking for proof of charges and disposition which the court records show. I sent the application in without the police records because it takes several weeks to obtain copies which have to be requested in writing for the state of Maryland. Also one of my charges was given by the State Police and there record takes a month to get.

I figured I would take a shot at this being enough information and get the copies of the police records in the meantime in expectation of an RFE. I could either wait a month to send in the application or a month for the RFE. If they send an RFE I'll be prepared for a quick response back and an expedited processing of the RFE.

The truth is no one really know's how there going to handle this new law, we are kind of the ginnie pigs. I'm sure people will be interested in the turn out of our applications. I asked the same question as you and the majority of the people here at VJ suggested I give them what they ask for.

Good luck

Hi Andy,

Yeah I just read about police records taking 3-4 weeks in Los Angeles. I also think its worth taking the risk for that kind of a delay.

Doing a Google search I also found reference to 'Police Reports' and 'Criminal Records', but not a Police Record as such.

A technicality I know, but there is so much confusion with all of this and with the RFE asking for records on one page and "a separate sheet" on the other, they're not making it easy for us or them.

Yes go to the police station and get a police report from them.. They will charge a fee i am sure.
