Again, he will need to meet with an immigration attorney. VJ is primarily for people who can handle this process on their own. Your case is clearly not something that should be done without consulting with an immigration attorney.

Novel,

Your fiance should take the advice of the posters in here to consult an immigration attorney. K-1 Visa process takes 2 different Departments approvals. Your petition may get approve by USCIS but it may also get denied by the Department of States based on those criminal record. You should read IMBRA forum section to see if there are others in similar situations like yours.

He needs to come on here and read the IMBRA forum.

If you love this man and you really want to overlook his past, I highly suggest that you pursue a CR1 instead of a K1. This way if something goes wrong when you get here, you are a permanent resident right away and can leave if things are not as they seem long distance. I'm not saying your fiancé is abusive so don't get me wrong, but I don't want to see him withholding the adjustment of status from you and then you having to deal with that. I think it would be best to really protect yourself just in case his account of his domestic violence charge isn't exactly what he's told you it is.

thank you for advice, but will it have influence to my adjustment of status? i mean his domestic violence charge.

now im confuse what is the meaning of IMBRA? he doesnt want to read coz :(.

Novel,

He absolutely should seek out an immigration lawyer. Domestic violence is a huge deal when applying for a K-1 visa, regardless of whether or not it is "just a misdemeanor". IMBRA is in regards to domestic violence and sexual assault charges and is a specific part of the application, which he will have to familiarize himself with. I can't understand why he wouldn't want to read it or understand what he's going to me up against.

This type of charge IS a big deal whether he believes it or not. Again, echoing the advice of others who have replied to you, seek out an attorney.

I am the USC/petitioner.

he said this is simple. He said it isnt hard because his case in the past didnt huge, the drug case was a big case.

I dont know how to make he to understand. Also he said he will call a lawyer tomorrow. Hope the lawyer is a good lawyer.

by the way Is it hard if we choose to process 130 petition than 129F?

Talk to a lawyer my friend...That way the attorney can navigate the nitty gritty of the process for you both. The attorney also has the requisite expertise to deal with your situation. More importantly, the attorney can best explain the process and s/he can naviagte and counter appropriately to the delicate issue of the charges.

Your question about which process is "harder"; I-130 or I-129F... I honestly believe you will be better off pursueing the I-130 route. My experience tells me the I-130 is somewhat a simpler/easier path if you take the time to gather the right documentation. Ofcourse every case is unique and different and depends on it's own circumstances that's why you both need to go consult with an attorney right away.

Goodluck and I wish you the very best!
