My fiance isn't legal in the country that I met him

[LKDougherty 0]

My fiance came to Italy, the country where we met and stayed together for over 2 years. Now that we are trying to get married, I am worried about going to the police to get his police report that says they had stopped him, noting that he leave, having entered illegally. I am worried that the police having this notice may stop his paper work. Has anyone else had a similiar problem?

In addition, he is from Kosovo, which is currently governed by the United Nations. He has to go to Macedonia for the interview...whenever that will be. Also, does anyone know what would happen if Kosovo receives independence, and all new passports have to be issued? How long could this take!

im a little confused...did your fiance get arrested or something? why are you worried about the police report...i know that in italy you can write in a request for a police report as long as you send a copy of id with it...message me for that info...

i was informed that the uscis only cares about us visas, not ones issued by other countries.

He used to live in apartment with some loud guys. They were sighted for noise distrubance, but many of them weren't legal, so when the cops came for the noise disturbance, they finger printed all the ones who weren't legal and told them they needed to leave the country. He didn't, if he did, I never would have met him.

oh that i dont know about...my fiance has been in similar situations, but they never fingerprinted him...if they didnt bring them to jail or anything, just told them to leave the country...the cops might have just been trying to scare them and there may be no record of the incident at all...if thats not the case then im not quite sure what you need to do...you should try and get the police record first in order to see if there is anything on there...if there is then i think you need to look into a waiver (?)..dont quote me on that tho...if there isnt anything on there, then youre home free =)

This might warrant a consultation with a qualified immigration attorney. Yes, his illegal-in-Italy status may prove to be a problem for him. It's something you should research BEFORE you commit yourself to anything on paper with any of the various governments involved.

i spoke to an immigration officer specifically to ask that question, and she told me that they dont care about a visa overstay outside the US

Is he in Italy now illegally? If not, then you'll be more likely to be okay. If he is in Italy now illegally, then the Italians may kick him out (again?) and that's probably not so convenient for anything.

btw: if you spoke to an immi officer, then why ask that part again here? If your question is more toward other Italian filers about how to get the police report (or filers who need to get Italian reports) check out the regional forum, it might help you find an answer.

It sounds like the police were trying to scare him. If they really wanted them all out of the country, there is a deportation process and it would have to be documented. Get the police report now BEFORE you file your I-129 and see what it says so you know how to complete your form and there are no suprises later. Based on the outcome of this, you may need to consider a lawyer.

THANKS EVERYONE. I'm living here in Italy now, and many of my Italian friends have no clue. My fiance lives here now, still, as well. Tomorrow I'm going to the Procura Generale with his copy of his passport. I hope they they were really just scarying him. Will it be a problem that I'm asking for the police report before I've even had my NOA2 and I'm just it on my own before hand? Plus, anyone have any information on the Slovenian police report process? He has a visa for there for 9 months, but only stayed 1. He doesn't have an exit stamp, so I figure it won't hurt to get it anyways, but the only sites I see are in Slovenian and I don't understand.

Thanks!

i dont think it will be a problem...if they say anything, tell them that you are trying to get him a US visa and that he will be leaving italy as long as he gets the police report...if they give you trouble, you can just write in the request...you shouldnt need the NOA2, but keep in mind that the police report expires after 6 months

glad to see that there are others in my situation. My fiance is illegal in the UK, and i met him there. I have been contemplating the whole process and if this would be a problem, but I have concluded that if we are honest during the whole thing, it will be ok because there is no question to the legitimacy of our relationship, we have been together for three years. and if it was a marriage for convieniece thing, he would have been better off marrying an English person - i hope this line of reasoning will work!

Anyway how do you obtain a police report for someone who supposedly hasn't existed in the country that they are living in illegally? That's my question.

that can be tricky...my fiance came to italy legally but then overstayed his work visa...so he is able to obtain a police record no problem...as for you, they still might do it, but there are no guarantees...you just have to ask them and hope that they say yes...if they take written requests i would do that...you can write that he lived in the country without papers, and hope that they are nice enough to give it to you.

those albanians are so silly sometimes...lol =)
