Where is the depressed forum?

[david'sgirl 134]

Davidsgirl, we got that police thing for the UK the one thats called ACPO, (association of chief officers) and thats the one that said no live trace. There's no live trace and no trace. Ours was no live cause he did criminal damage to a guys tire when he was 18 and paid a fine. The interview in London didnt like only the ACPO, they wanted something showing the offense. Sooooo, they RFE'd us at the interview and so we're waiting for this thing called a Subject Access so hope the thing is on there....I ordered that last month thinking our interview wont be for a little bit and we were just playing with fire essentially. Or having blind faith cause there are others in this forum that had no live trace and they were fine, but our interviewer had his boss looking over his shoulder and made it a hard time for Nigel....grrrrrrrr..........soooooooooooo.......the 20th is 40 days from us sending away for it....

Soooo frustrating...........i hate this process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your ACPO cert says no live trace it means the conviction is no longer accessible to anyone but the police. It has been stepped down and nobody can see it. The subject access report checks info from the same police computers as the ACPO one so it won't have details either. I got a subject access report from Lothian and Borders police and all it said was that the computers didn't hold any information on me. The ACPO one said No Trace. If you have a spent conviction your subject access report will probably just say the same thing that they hold no information on you. It will not give details of spent convictions. In Scotland the sheriff court records are supposed to be kept for 25 years and then they are sent to the archives at the General Register of Scotland. I assume in England it will be similar. If you can't get records at the convicting court maybe they are now archived wherever they are kept in England. Good luck. I hope you manage to find it.

Ya, i heard about the archives, they hold them in Chesterfield supposedly, cause the courthouse in his town is bulldozed. Nigel hates all this digging, the folks at the interview wanted the dang records from 1991 and well, not sure what to do now, if you say the subject access wont show either. The ACPO people gave dates of the conviction but why wouldnt they write it down for proof? I'm so pissed off at this whole thing...really.

If they can give you the dates then they must be reading it someplace. That's wierd. Try visiting the archives and see if anyone can assist you like my hubby suggested. Best of luck.

Well, the stubborn man wants to wait for the subject access to tell us nothing i guess. Go from there...whatever...i'm so mad at this whole process, i think i may have to take a month off and use the wedding money to go to england, f^%$$ it all....have a cheapo wedding and to hell with it---if it ever gets approved, who the heck knows.

PS: I'm also depressed. ABOUT NOTHING. I can't explain it... maybe it's the hormones. Who knows. It comes and goes. I get upset one moment and be happy the next. It's a roller coaster. But I'll be okay.

I wish I could take a month off and be with hi. I would not have a job left to come back to. We just dont have that sort of flexibility.

We had a cheap but lovely wedding in Scotland. We went to a registrar and they have a room for wedding. We got local flowers, I got a dress and veil online,borrowed a tiara and he got a kilt and his sis got a white fancy cake at Asda (like Walmart) but put pretty topper on it and a plaid ribbon around it. We had a meal in a restaurant and went back to our honeymoon cottage. It was actually very nice and it didnt break the bank.

Sounds like our wedding in Dublin. We had 2 witnesses, 2 of my husband's children, and the Reverend. We all went for a nice meal at a castle (CREDIT CARD LOL), and had one glorious day together before I had to fly home.

Been waiting to begin my marriage for over a year now.....

Another day between Heaven and Hell of not knowing.................

Yup, the sitting here with nothing is #######.....i feel like i'm in la la land for lack of a better word...lol...Nigel has such confidence, I gotta give him credit for that, maybe its ignorance is bliss kinda thing...he called that association of chief officers (ACPO) the ones that do the police thingie, I remember they phoned him with the info we needed so maybe that subject access will have it on there, being he says they're the same folks that do them. Sooooooooooo......waaaaaaating...........bbq'ing steak and potato's tonight, that should drown the sorrow for a few minutes....whats everyone else making for dinner?

We got married July 8th which was a Weds and I had to leave really early Sunday.

I've been through Dublin and Shannen airports but still haven't seem Ireland. It's on my list though!

I am so ready to be done!

I did a bit of research about subject access reports and I was wrong. It appears they include all information held even for convictions that have been stepped down. So hopefully it'll be on there. Sorry for the ####### information!

By law they have to reply to you within 40 business days but I got mine in about a week. It's a pity his police force are dragging it out.

Umm...happy three month anniversary? For Case Complete I mean?

Oof.

OH, I guess I should be careful lest someone at the Montreal Consulate gets their feelings hurt by my annoyance, right?

I am seriously beginning to feel like we've just plain been forgotten about.

But thanks, Wyatt!

Maybe at some point in the next decade we can interview. What do people do when it gets to be too long? IS there anything we can do, I wonder? I've written to everyone and my husband's even contacted his congressman.

Now what?

Blah...

Let's go back to talking about ketchup, far less frustrating.

Oh ur such a doll... thanks for checking...I was freaking out a bit...lol...Nigel's sooooo confident so I'll roll with that...I hate the sick sinking feeling of despair with the unknown...so I'm gonna be happy when thats in our hot little hands...it will be 40 days since we mailed it on the 20th of Nov...so I'd say the end of the month at the latest is when we'll get it, cause nothing in the mail quite yet...
