Police Certificate for Mom

[shelly-bug 15]

If she were to write a letter, how do you think she should word it?

Just an outline would be nice.

There is no letter involved apart from here is the documentation.

Ok, hopefully they will give her chance to explain herself. Hoping and praying!

Thanks everyone for your response!

As I have said, you need to wait for the police certificate first and see what it says right there.

Then, if the offense shows up on your police certificate, then its time to write an explanation.

Keep the receipt of the fine that was charged. You will need that to support your letter that the case is settled with a fine. Maybe in your country, such cases doesnt go to court and a fine will settle the offense. Other countries, cases like that can also be a criminal offense, and in your case it is NOT since no court and no jail time was given.

You will be stressed reading comments from other people from different countries because some things really doesnt apply to all of us since we come from different countries.

She is just telling me now that she did go to court to pay the fine! Ugh! So frustrating!

Anyway I will just take your advice and wait for the police certificate.

How can she obtain the receipt after so many years?

How can my mom, obtain that information from the court after so many years?

Where is your mom from?

I could tell you how the UK does it but your situation may be very different.

Just write a simple letter of facts, and attach it.

As long as you have no domestic abuse, or major felony, or 3 DUI's, all should be fine with this.

It sounds very minor.

Good Luck, and I think you will be fine with a good letter, attached.

My mom is in Jamaica.

I would love to hear how it's done in the UK.... Please share.

Thank you

How would she structure such letter?

I am sorry, I am just clueless about all this mess.

Thank you!

Do not write a letter explaining what she did. If she admits to having committed a CIMT then she has just rendered herself inadmissible. Someone above gave you the correct advice. Get the police report. Then with the information on the police report go to the court and get the official court record. If she wasn't convicted of any criminal offense then the issue is settled. If she was convicted then the consular officer will most likely be compelled to require a waiver application. If she wasn't convicted, but puts in a written statement saying she did it, then she might well be sealing her own inadmissibility.
