[Mustafa 0]

my us fiancee has been arrested for domestic violence in 2011 what papers we should include ? is that will be a problem or uscis deny our application ? 

[zilchfox 296]

I think you're fine, USCIS would know about your USC fiance's domestic violence already if it occured in the U.S., I can't remember if the I-129F asks about the USC's criminal history, but I don't think it does.

 

EDIT: Disregard, it does ask. Follow the I-129F instructions for more info.

So my american fiancee has beenarrested for domestic violence two years ago she had a fight with her ex he called the cops and she went to jail for 4 hours and she paid her fine and get out plus her record is still clean without any charges so guys is this will affect on our papers processing ? 

[JFH 12,191]

How can her record be clean if she served a punishment? She received a fine so she was found guilty of something. On the I-129F she must declare any arrests or convictions for domestic violence. So this incident must be included. They are likely to quiz you about it at the interview. Make sure you know the full details as recorded by the court, not just what she told you happened.

Sorry, I thought you were already in the US.

 

I doubt it will have any effect.

no i'm the beneficiary

I don't think being arrested is an automatic denial.... especially if the punishment / sentence was served. As long as you're aware of this, they WILL bring it up at the interview. They will make sure you know all of the details and that nothing has been hidden or left out as it may lead to a denial if you weren't aware of it as not only protecting the country but protecting you from possibly entering a fraudulent marriage.

 

However, after all of that, remember that it's up to the interviewer to determine whether or not she would be inadmissible for that kind of a crime - Again, I'm certainly no expert on what IS and ISN'T deemed a serious enough offense, and sometimes it comes down to the person doing the interview.

My american fiancee has been convicted for domestic violence two years ago with her ex she had a fight with him and pushed him in his cheast he called the cops and she arrested for several hours in the jail she told me her record is still clean with no charges , she had appendix surgery two weeks ago and she dont have the money to pay it , she has two speeding tickets the question is all of these will affect on our paperwork if we apply for the fiance k1 visa ?

[pushbrk 13,176]

She will be answering yes to one of the criminal history questions, requiring that she provide the court or arrest records along with the petition.  Otherwise, no impact.  It's all about making certain YOU are informed.

 

However, first you say she was convicted, then later you said there were no charges.  It sounds like she was "arrested" but not charged.  If there is no "arrest record" to obtain, then she wasn't arrested.  She needs to be certain, just what the facts are and act accordingly.

 

Speeding tickets and unpaid medical bills are non-issues.

[Estibaliz 3,037]

Although debts are non-issues, you should take a look to the i-134 form and poverty guidelines, to plan ahead in case you might need a cosponsor for the affidavit of support.

Good luck!
