I got an RFE for a domestic violence charge from 1999. I went to the police station and got a certified letter stating that they have no records for me and they destroy records after 5 years. I then went to the court house and managed to get a copy of the file that was supposedly "destroyed". You need to have something from the courts stating that they dont have anything on you. I guess this just shows them that you tried. As far as drug charges, the instructions state 3 or more convictions. I wish you luck.

We got a RFE on Tuesday. We can not get a document for possession of paraphernalia! We sent USCIS only 2 documents about convictions and wrote the letter that we can not get document but we tried! We wrote all phone numbers and let them know that I already know about his convictions( submitted scan of facebook page and my email). What do you people think, we will be denied????

what documents did you send them about the convictions? my fiance sent a court record with the convictions in it... it wasn't hard to get it.. :)

When people start making their own assumptions instead of following the instruction given and do what they are asked for, that's when they get into trouble.

RFE stands for request for evidence, you were supposed to send the evidence they asked for along with the letter. You don't just send homemade letters and emails and hope it will be okay.

Unfortunately hope doesn't get you immigration visa, but following instructions strictly is. I am afraid your RFE response will be insufficient and your petition denied, sorry...oops8rh.gif

I thought you said you had already sent off your reply to the RFE yesterday?

We sent but then after reading the posts here we shiped back the letter! We are going to wait for the letter from the court clerk and then will send papers to USCIS!

Thank you so much! The clerk will send the letter next week!

I'm just wondering here because it sounds a bit confusing... you've send the RFE reply to USCIS, then you somehow pulled that reply so it would not go to USCIS but back to you? How did you send the reply to them?

We sent it by USA post. You can cancel the shipment if you fill out the form in post office.

So I'm just wondering, what were the docs that you originally sent along with the I-129F package? Did you send any court record at all? or just a letter that explains your situation? hehe thanks:)

You need to go to the County Courthouse and/or police station where the incident occured . Have the clerk do a search and if nothing is found they will write NO RECORDS FOUND on a records search document.That will be the proof you need. I had checked the box YES for an A&B that i was arrested for but there was no conviction. I had to prove it was not a conviction. If it was an arrest with no conviction there will be no court records, only a police report.

Thank you so much. We sent certified copies only for 2 convictions and the third was not found in court files so we sent a letter that it is unavailable, it was our mistake! Now waiting for the official letter from the court. Thanks you guys who stopped us from sending our letter.

Btw USCIS recieved our letter on Monday, the post office could not cancel the shipment! So now we are praying! I really hope we will not be denied( I HOPE THEY WILL APPROVE OUR CASE)!!!
