Posession of cannabis on police record

[The Vikings 0]

Hi,

We're new to this forum and are starting the process (currently preparing our I-129F) that will, hopefully, lead to me relocating to be with my fiancee in Arizona. I've done some research and found that I will need to take a Police disclosure with me to interview if/when we get that far.

I will be 31 years old in February and was caught in possession of cannabis at the age of 17. I pleaded guilty by letter and was sentenced to £125 fine when I was 18. Then, just a few days later, was caught again, prosecuted and fined another £150. Stupid, I know. Such is the folly of youth!

These convictions, whilst spent under the Rehabilitiation of Offenders Act, will be present on my disclosure and I fear the worst for our K1 application.

Can anyone offer insight, advice, words of experience please? We are totally new at this and it's quite a steep learning curve!

Many thanks,

Carl & Alicia

Don't quote me on this, but I believe you'll need a waiver?

Yep, I think you do. All drugs convictions are frowned upon by the USA, normally resulting in a denial...hence your need for a waiver. I'm sure others here are much more knowledgeable on this though!

As an aside Adultery is classified as a crime of moral turpitude , I wonder how many people declare it???

You may very well need a waiver a part of the I-129F process - you may want to check the IMBRA forum for more information regarding this.

You will definintely need a waiver at the consulate level, which will include the 601 waiver and hardship letter from the USC proving extreme hardship if your waiver is not approved and she is required to relocate permanently to your country. Check immigrate2us.net for more information on this part of the waiver process and hardship letter.

So, like, they seriously care if you smoked pot???? Isn't it legal in Canada? I don't get why this is such a big deal, really. I mean I have glaucoma so technically I can legally smoke it here. It's not like it's smoking crack or something.

But he's not emigrating to Canada & it was illegal when he broke the law so yeah, they kinda care bout stuff like that
