Criminal record on I-129f and I-130

[tvn0521 1]

I am wondering why on the I-129f, it asked a question about have you committed a crime??? But on the I-130 application, it does not ask anything about committing a crime. Very appreciated if anyone can answer this question.

Sad but true. Just because people are married doesn't mean the petitioner isn't a loser/abuser or child molester

Just because a person may have criminal charges/convictions in their past doesn't automatically make them any of the negative things you said. Regardless of the crime people should always be given a second chance. Now a third fourth or fifth chance is pushing it.

When do you stop giving them chances?

I thought I made it clear, you get a second chance...

If your negative behavior was a mistake or something that you want to address and correct then you won't need a third fourth or fifth...

If people would stop looking at incarceration as warehousing inmates and remember that it's called The Department of Corrections then maybe we'd be better off.

I believe in support for recovery on any first offense followed by harsh punishment if there is a second offense.

I have an adult felony conviction from when I was 16. I'm 40 now and have never re-offended. I spent years working to correct what was wrong within myself and to be honest if I hadn't got arrested at 16 I wouldn't be a very good person today as the arrest was the catalyst for recovery.

The IMBRA isn't about punishing the US citizen for having committed a crime. It's about making sure those crimes have been disclosed to the foreign fiance/e while they still have a chance to back out of the relationship, and making sure that International Marriage Brokers (if one was used) have complied with the collection of information and disclosure requirements of the law. USCIS won't normally deny an I-129F for having committed an IMBRA related crime, but they may deny it if you're also asking for a waiver of the filing limitations.
