Hey guys!

 

My fiance got our RFE today and as I already knew its about his criminal history, because we only listed his charges on the petition without certification of it.

 

Here is the RFE:

What we did back in november was paying the state police in VA to send my fiance a backgroundcheck on him, but sadly it never arrived, even though they charged his creditcard for it. So we sent out the petition without it. 

Now it says "with the police report". What does this exactly mean? He already called his courthouse and they say he can print something out there and they can sign it, but we arent sure if we still need to get this background check from the state police too?

 

Also my fiance forgot that he was put in juvenile detention with 14 (hes 30 now), but he cant remember anymore if there was anything court related. Do we need to submit that too? He actually didnt mention this in the original petition because he only got put in there because his mum and him had a loud argument and she called the police on him, and when they arrived he ran away. So when he came back later that day, they arrested him and put him into detention.

You might say now: go and get the documents for it, but this was in a whole different state and he would need to drive between 4-5 hours to go there. 

 

I hope you can help me with that and provide me with some more information. Also i saw the tips on the RFE's (signing it, coverletter etc), can anyone link me the thread to it? We really want to make this right and send it back asap.

 

Thank you!

A "police report" means what the police wrote about the incident at the time.  It does not mean a background check.

Does this come with the documents you can print out at the courthouse?

Possibly. It might be part of the court records.

What USCIS wants to see is court-certified (in other words, a raised seal/stamp) documents regarding the final disposition (outcome) of any court case.

Depending on how long ago the charge/conviction was, the court can provide a court-certified statement that the records have been purged/destroyed if they no longer exist.

 

The police report can be obtained by the police headquarters that had jurisdiction over where he was living at the time he was arrested.  They can also provide an official letter stating records have been destroyed, if needed (depending on how long ago it happened).

 

In terms of distance---many court offices/police departments will accept requests authorizing the release of your records/statements to you mailed to your home.

If he's 30, it's unlikely that the records no longer exist. My husband was arrested in 1990 - 28 years ago - and went to prison. We were able to obtain the whole file. Including the notes taken by the police officers who arrived following the 911 call and the transcript of the 911 call.
