Then don't worry about it. It doesn't affect his eligibility to file a petition, but you can expect to be questioned about it at the interview.

Hi everyone..finally i got the interview day last week..but they gave me blue sheet and require both me and my husband write statement of the residence in the past ten year...But we wonder if we should write the criminal record on my husband statement or not?..

Let me tell u about what they ask me on interview.

1/who ur husband living with now?

- His mother and his sister in the current address since 2010

2/Who ur husband live with before 2010?

- His mother and his step father since 2007

3/Who ur husband live with before 2007?

- before 2007 he lived with his mother and his sister

So..they dont ask the time..but i told them the time..infact my husband live with my sister since 2000 and go jail 2003-2007 but THEY DIDN'T ASK ABOUT MY HUSBAND CRMINAL...

So do u think if my husband need write that on his time line?...and if yes...will they think i wrong answered at interview?...im so confused and sad...Plz give me some advice..thanks

You did not answer wrong, they asked you "who your husband live with before 2007?" and you gave a factual answer. Maybe they were probing you to see what you would say, however, they could have very well just asked you about the conviction. They did not ask you where was your husband between 2003-2007, so you did not give any wrong answer.

Jim gave you good advice about your husbands criminal record, it is not relevant to approving an I-130 visa. But they can really grill you about it to see how well you know your husband.

Give them the detailed time line they want, in the case of your husband, there is NO way he can avoid noting that he was a resident of whatever correctional facility between 2003-2007. They are already aware of his conviction, where he was and for how long he was there. Make his time line is as detailed as possible with regards to the dates, if possible.

I would write it as such, for example:

May 1, 2003 - May 1, 2007.... In custody at the Orange County Men's Central Jail and later transfered to the California Department of Corrections.

May 1, 2003 - May 1, 2004 ....Orange Country Men's Central Jail - Santa Ana, CA.

May 2, 2004 - Jan 5, 2005 .... California Department of Corrections - Palican Bay State prison

Jan 6, 2005 - Jan 6, 2006 .... California Department of Corrections - Folsom State Prison

Jan 7, 2006 - May 1, 2007.... California Department of Corrections - San Quentin State Prison

May 1, 2007 Released from custody at San Quentin State Prison

May 2, 2007 - Present 123 Happy Face St. Fountain Valley, CA

I would give a full detailed breakdown of the 4 years from 2003-2007, so there would be no way to deny you based on a flimsy charge of misrepresentation.

If they ask you about the details, be prepared to give them ALL of the details about your husbands incident. Make sure he briefs you on the whole story.

Good luck!

Thanks Jim...so we just write the true and detail as they want...but seem like i dont have any chance to be interviewed again...wonder if they think i dont know about my husband clearly...

On interview day..they just looked at our pic a bit...and we have a lot evidence but they didnt look...

we think we will write timeline about relationship and mention about his criminal that he already told me before we discuss about marriage...Hope they will understand...

Thank you again to give me advice...!...now we just pray..!!!

They are not asking for a timeline of relationship but a 10 year record of residence. On the 10 year residence they will want to know who also lived at that residence with him. Now you stated that he lived with your sister from 2000 to 2003. make sure you note this. This is a huge red flag and may be what they are going to have questions about big time. Good luck.

Thye're looking for the statements/timeline by year as to where you both have lived in the past 10 years.

Not a 10 year statement about your relationship. I gave you an example of a simple format to cover the 10 years of residence they're looking for.

No long explanation about his criminal record, that is not what they asked you for. You will note those years as I showed you because, although your husband was in prison, it was his temporary residence.

They will ask you about his background to see if you are aware of it, then just give them the answers/information they ask of you.

Then just make a 10 year residency for both as Leatherneck has shown. No need to make a relationship timeline or submit anymore than asked. Get it in as soon as possible and see what slip they give.
