Violating restraining order question

[Jliz 0]

I was convicted of violating a restraining order about 9 years ago and given PTI and a few months probation.

Just wondering if this is considered domestic violence and should I disclose it on my I-129F form ???

Thanks for the help

My two cents worth are yes it is and if you don't report it you could find yourself with serious problems when they do a background check on you.

It should just mean that you have to make her aware of it and they will talk about it in the interview to be sure.

How did you violate it?

If I was you, I wouldn't disclose it anyway.

Disclose it!!!

Any background check, resocrds check will show the conviction. If you fail to list it then you can be in trouble. A violation of restraining order is no big deal anyway to immigrations.

I'm glad you got the dog.

You need to disclose it. You don't want them thinking you're hiding something.

If you admit it, they will ask her in the interview if she is aware of it.

If you don't admit it and they don't find it, they won't ask her that question

If you don't admit it and they do find it (which is likely) you may be lucky to ever get the visa.

Why don't you ask your attorney, if you have one? Was it a deferred sentence? Sometimes, deferred sentence, if completed successfully does not show up in background check.

say, "That was such a long time ago, during an early relationship, ive forgotten about it as it was a trivial matter "etc..has nothing to do with present. Dont stir the ####### pot any more than have to. when we went in for interview we just stuck with facts and gave what they wanted and no further talking or information.
