OMG... no update on the old or new website, but my fiance told me he got our RFE. I was already thinking we gonna get that, because I knew we didnt submit his criminal records, since the state police didnt send us the backgroundcheck he paid for in november (!).

 

So he called his courthouse today and we can get atleast that tomorrow, but still need to wait until we hear back from the state police because they want additionally a background check from us too for some reason.

 

One thing my fiance is wondering about. He got put in juvenile detention with 14, because his mum called the cops when they were arguing and he ran away. He is now 30. Does he need to get something about that too? The problem is this would be like a 4 hour drive just to go to the courthouse there.

 

Should i make an extra topic for that? Also any tips on submitting the documents they want from the courthouse/policerecord.

 

Thank you in advance

I'll make an extra topic so more knowledgeable folks like Hank and Geowrian can help out
In my experience, you don't want to send what is not asked- but you also don't want to OMIT something important- that can come to bite you in the you know what

Good luck girl!

Hello guys! No update on either new or the old site. I had requested a service request ticket yesterday. They had asked me to wait for 10 business days and call back If I did'nt hear back. Today out of extreme anxiety I called - the lady said as a matter of fact she can see that my application was approved. They have ordered the printing of the letter as of today.  I am super happy and hoping what she said was in fact true.

Okay so my Fiancé just said they called him back, and the lady said it usually takes about 6 to 7 months, and that our case is a week shy from their priority date and that we will hear from them shortly, and their just busy with their routine processing for the case.

 

That's all I got. 😂... So underwhelmed but eh.

Heads up, I felt like this yesterday too, but today we got our RFE without any update on any website!

 

So your approval letter or RFE might be on the way already too.

Wait I’m confused! Were we suppose to submit a criminal record too? I went down the checklist on here (even had a friend double check for me) and never saw that. I thought that it was for the interview. Am I wrong? This means we will definitely be getting an RFE.

No dont worry. You only need to provide this if you have 3 or more criminal charges (USC). Doesnt matter if you got convicted for it or no. If you have like only 2 charges, then you dont need to submit anything afaik.

No this is incorrect info. You do need to submit certified court records (and in some cases more - like police reports) for any criminal arrest or conviction for the USC.

That is only half correct.

 

I just checked the petition again. There is a domestic violence question, a rape/murder question and a question about 3 or more arrests or convictions for crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol. 

Means if you answer everywhere with no, and you only had 2 convictions/arrests for example because of alcohol, then you put a no there too. Which leads to no documents!

Hey February filers.

I am a newbie here. 

I filed the k1 visa on February 06 2018

And recieved an RFE  on August 29 stating that i need to send

• my passport stamps that i have visited my fiance
• A written statement of meeting in person
• Airline tickets of visiting each other
• Additional evidence that could help uscis determine we have meet within the 2 years

Hopefully i will be gathering all the evidence in these days to recieve a positive answer as soon as possible. Been waiting so long and to recieve a RFE is very SAD 

 

Any other february filers that recieved an RFE???

Still incorrect, sorry... Not sure if you have an old form or something but the question right after it specifies *any* arrest, conviction, fine, etc outside of those previous 3 questions (those first three are just scrutinized more)... and asks for documentation. It is further explained on the I-129f instructions.

omg.. youre so right. 

 

I just scrolled down and saw this too. I guess i just thought we needed to submit it because we had 3 or more. These petitions are really confusing!

 

Imma try to edit my posts, so nobody gets a wrong idea.

 

edit: nevermind you can never edit your old posts. weird.

I know, it's rough! You'd think that simplifying the forms for us would make their jobs so much easier too!!!

Ok so my fiancé has no criminal record. So we didn’t need to submit a form?
