K - 1 Visa & IMBRA

[thirdtimeacharm 1]

Hello Again Fellow VJer's ! Correct me if I am wrong about this . In 1973 I was convicted on a Misdemeaner Marijuana charge and also in 1991 a conviction that I have posted here . So this is 2 convictions in a lifetime . Here is what the Istructions for the I 29-F says about IMBRA Step 2 Of The General Requirements and " For additional IMBRA requirements , see Items 7 and 9 of these instructions ". Item 7 A says, " If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submitt certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction. This is required even if your records were sealed or otherwise cleared, or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney told you that you no longer have a record ." Then it goes on to 7 A #3 to say this , " Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol ON THREE OR MORE OCCASIONS, ( this is actually underlined in the instructions ) and such crimes did not arise from a single act .

For me there was 2 drug convictions from the same act in 1991 and 1 drug conviction from a single act in 1973 . I am reading this as I Do Not fall under this IMBRA Law . Opinions please. As far as any secrets, my fiance knows about this and has a FULL Copy of my Pre - Sentencing Report that the Feds did in 1991 !! So no secrets. I told her about that when I knew we were falling for each other and then I took her the copy of the report at our meeting in the Philippine in October 2010 . Sorry so long but this may shed some light on the Visa Journey Of Others ! Thanks .......Terry

I understand it as you DON'T have to enclose your record! You would only do this if you have three or more drug convictions on three seperate occasions, and since two of your drug convictions was from a single act, you can tick no in the box. Lucky you!
