K3 Petitioner - Part C of I-129F form

[vaio 0]

I am USC petitioning K3 for my spouse. Part C of I-129F form - item 2, I answered no.

Recently I was arrested for a DUI - no prior record or any legal problems. Not even a speeding ticket. Got probation and the charges were dropped and case dismissed. Records expunged!!!

Did I fill the form correctly (Part C of I-129F form - item 2)???

Will it come up during background check?

Will this affect/ delay my petition for my spouse???

Please help...!

it will come up during background check, it should declare if you got the probation, even the records has expunged,. when you got your noa1, few months later or so they will continue the background check and before you will get noa2 they will asking it, and they will sending you a request of evidenced with one month of prior date to submit. If anyone had legal problems they should attached the complete documents when they start filing because later the uscis will asking the RFE from the petitioners. I think it can caused delayed process , the court paper submitted should be certified from the court with seal.

Hey vaio - welcome to VJ !

You might want to review http://www.visajourney.com/news/2010/02/07/department-of-state-to-close-k-3-visas-if-i-129f-and-i-130-petitions-approved-and-received-together/ before you ship off that I-129F.

Stick with the I-130/CR-1 process, ya? Saves much grief and money in the long term - see http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/204324-wondering-if-i-made-a-mistake-marrying-in-us/page__view__findpost__p__3060767

IF you are filing a K-3 needing/hoping to get K-4s, also, for any children - EEK - time to file new I-130s on any children - 1 for each child.

Good Luck !

K-3 isn't really a useful visa these days, when (as Darnell posted) the I-130 and the I-129F are approved (and yes, they will be approved together as has been the case for years) on the same day and reach NVC, NVC will close the I-129F. It's a waste of paper and resources and has no benefit to you and your wife. You can, of course, petition for the K-3 and think that every case is different and even if there is a small chance of her getting here earlier then you'll risk it, but I just like to be real

Good luck
