Allow me to rant guys... I knew this would happen... NVC just emailed about our recently sent 260 doc packet - asking that we send his criminal record for it to be complete.  (My husband was arrested on his 17th bday and served some time before his family could save enough to pay his fine). 

 

Months ago he went to the Mexican consulate here in Chicago and together they requested his criminal record from his hometown in the state of Tlaxcala (where he was convicted).  We in turn received a certified affidavit from "TLX Tlaxcala State Government, Office of the Procurator - General of the Nation"  stating "That after a thorough search in the State files of this Division, there were no Criminal Records registered against [Husband's Name]" 

 

So... how can we produce something to NVC that doesn't exist? 

 

The NVC request letter specifically says "criminal record" … am I missing another document all together?  Is there something on a "national" Mexican level that we can get? Like a whole Mexican country criminal record search? If so, how do we get that? I would of thought the Consulate would have requested that as well...

 

My hubby is calling NVC today

Ok so I'm a dumb dumb.  I've followed the NVC links to the federal police certificate to be requested from an office in Mexico City.  Anybody use a power of attorney in Mexico City to get this record? He doesn't a relative there.  

I hope this is what NVC is requesting from us.  Tlaxcala didn't provide us with a prison record or a court transcript; not sure how else to get those items if the state police themselves sent an affidavit saying he has no criminal record UGH

Has anyone experienced OR heard of anyone having issues at the interview stage or getting Their visa denied after the approval of I 601A Waiver of Unlawful presence??? I know waiver doesn’t guarantee that your visa will be granted but... would be nice to know people were actually able to come back to the US after the interview...

I have read some stories from some fb groups I'm member of, I have read lil bit of both, denials and approvals, or administrative  processing (meaning they weren't denied, only missing documentation)

My husband had his interview in January, and was approved. You just have to remember a few things, try not to be nervous, dress like you are going to a job interview, not a wedding. Be yourself. And like our lawyer said tell the truth, because they have everything you already submitted right in front of them. Make sure too that you have every document with you just In case they ask for anything. And leave your cellphone wherever it is that you are staying, because they will not let you in, and they will tell you to take it back. I hope this helps, good luck.
