I have a really important question that is on my mind always. So my fiance got arrested but it was a totally mistake after he went to trial he has no charges, the case was dismissed because there was no evidence he was guilty, all clean but I said NO to the question if he had been arrested because it was unfair and bad... Do you think I will get and RFE asking information about it? Because he has NO criminal record. Please help me I'm so scared about that part!!!!!! 

The question on the application doesn’t say have you been convicted it says have you been arrested. It’s very clear and it was not very smart to lie on the application beqxuae you think it’s unfair.

 

uscis doesn’t care about criminal convictions or arrests unless they are adam Walsh acts - google it if you aren’t aware of them but they are generally sexual crimes and crimes against children. 

 

uSCIS does care about honesty and there is another vj memebr from June 2017 that didn’t disclose his arrest (very minor) got to the embassy Stage and after interview he was told the beneficiary was approved and they did one more check and saw the arrest and his fiancé got the visa denied because  he the petitioner lied on the application. 

 

now he has to start all over again and file a cr1. Wasted 11 months and thousands of dollars.

What you said won't make me go to sleep tonight the only reason why we said no it was because the lawyer said his name would no appear on anything but now I'm all worried about it 😪😪😪

That lawyer gave you horrible advice. No lawyer should tell you to lie on an official immigration application

Even if he had no criminal record? 

 

The question is “have you ever been arrested” and the answer for him is yes. I’m sorry it’s not the answer you wanted but we cannot advise people it’s ok to lie on this forum. I hope you get an rfe and it’s an easy fix, good luck.

It should be a quick turnaround and decision.  Hopefully within the week.

Today we hit the magic 200 number (NOA1 Feb 15th, new website: feb 19th) without any news or anything.

So, who else is still waiting with us for an answer?

what? i thought it needs to be one combined signed by both parties.... Is it just an additional request? 

That's what we did, one letter of intent and signed by both but they said, we need to send in my letter of intent separately and his detailed declaration of how we met. Those were our RFE's dated August 30th, that we got in the mail yesterday and we mailed the response today. Hoping for the best for everyone!

We wrote a joint letter and both signed it.  Approved at 185 days with no RFE.  Could be just the wording in the letter, luck of the draw, whatever.

Yeah, I literally copied the exact letter that I see on pretty much every sample on half a dozen internet sites with K1 samples (including this one lol). I don't get it AT ALL but that's all they asked for so we just rewrote it again from only him and he signed it (he's here visiting) and sent it back. I'm just hoping I didn't misunderstand what they wanted but it seemed pretty straightforward in the RFE. But how that could be the thing that delays this whole process by a good month, I just don't get. Feb 16th NOA1...fingers crossed we are approved by September 16th...7 months!

Me! I’m growing so impatient February 14 old site new site Feb 19. I pray to God this week or next we have our approval or something so that he can make it here for the birth of our daughter or at least 2weeks after. I want to cry every day this is the first time we have been apart since we got engaged in October

That's so interesting that we both had the same thing (mine was only letter of intent) and everyone else did it the same as us and were approved. Makes me wonder if it just depends on the person reading the case? Maybe we had the same person lol. It's so odd and confusing to me. I don't get how something so simple as a four line letter could be what holds up an entire detailed application!!! But I guess we don't get to know the details...we just get to wait and see!
