Send ALL court documents for Convictions even not specified by AWA and IMBRA?

[paultfairchild 0]

Hello VJ,

I was informed by Rapidvisa.com that I need to submit ALL court documents for any convictions that I (the US Petitioner) have had in the past. My convictions include 9 burglary (non-violent) and 1 Possession of Controlled Substance. I currently am enrolled in the Drug Court Program where I have a Possession and Dui charge that will be dismissed with NO CONVICTION. So am I obligated to submit all information on all my Convictions? I got my treatment counselor to print out all my UAs since the beginning of the year and wrote a letter of compliance in the program since the start date. Thanks again to everyone who responds.

3. What Documents Must You Submit to Comply With IMBRA?

a. If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submit certified copies of all court and police
records showing the charges and dispositions for every conviction. You must do so even if your records were sealed
or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no
longer have a record.

(1) Domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, dating violence, elder abuse, and stalking.
The term "domestic violence" includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or
former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is
cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of
the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction receiving grant monies, or by any other
person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person's acts under the domestic or family
violence laws of the jurisdiction.

(2) Homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture, trafficking,
peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint,
false imprisonment, or an attempt to commit any of these crimes.

(3) Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol on three or more occasions, where such crimes did not arise
from a single act.

NOTE: If your petition is approved, a copy of your petition, including the information you submit regarding your
criminal convictions, will be provided to the Department of State for dissemination to the beneficiary of your
petition under section 833(a)(5)(A)(ii) of IMBRA. In addition, under section 833(a)(5)(A)(iii) of IMBRA, any
criminal background information pertaining to you that USCIS may discover independently in adjudicating this
