Here's more info on what it was: He was indicted by a federal grand jury in 09, they were investigating animal rights activities, he refused to testify and was charged with contepmt of court, spent 4 months in jail and then released. He pled guilty to criminal contempt of court in 2010. It's not a felony nor misdemeanor. Then he was sentenced to 10 months in prison, but they counted the 4 he already served. He had to start serving the time earlier because he suposedly violated his terms because of an interview he gave, so he started serving the 6 extra months in Jan 2012 and is now out and on 3 year probation.

So, he was tangentially involved with domestic terrorism?

Not my fiancé, he had no knowledge of any crimes, just refused to testify. His particular case has nothing to do with terrorism and was never charged with anything like that. Don't think there's more to talk about.

Just gotta wait and see what happens.

How did terrorism get into this?

OP your fiancé record DO NOT stop him from filing for U

unless he was charged with some kind of sexual debauchery

or battering another female...U just be sure to have all info of

the crime at interview and proof of ongoing relationship, photos

cards sent to each other, ph. records and boarding passes with

stamped PP...I must make U aware one visit even-though face

to face may be a red-flag...u should try to get a discounted

ticket to visit again.

The USCIS performs a background check on the petitioner and the beneficiary and his record will come up, so the sure the embassy will already know about it before you go to the interview. Just tell the truth when they ask you and you won't have anything to worry about

The OP said her fiance was charged with contempt of court. Domestic terrorism is a much more serious charge but it does not concern the OP or her fiance

We had no way of putting it into the application because he was never charged with any of those crimes they listed in the options of the i29f, so how can I make sure the embassy knows? I mean, like you said they do background checks so when the embassy gets all our papers and stuff they should know, right? I am planning on being honest about it when they ask, I am just not sure of what to say that will make it clear I am aware of it and we just want to move on and start a life together.

Thanks

yes...USCIS does a background check on both of you, but it sounds like his conviction will not be something that raises a red flag. I think they are more concerned about drug crimes and domestic violence type of crimes. He is already a US citizen...so you are going to be the one who gets put under the microscope.

Ok, I hope it'll be ok and try to stay positive & be honest.

Thanks!
