I already filed the  I-130 months ago for my spouse abroad. That form did not require any arrest/court history. The I-129F does, it seems, even if you are filing it for the K-3 visa. So, the question is, if I am filing the I-129F now, with the pending I-130, do I still need to attach any arrest/court history to the I-129F? It's not required for the I-130, so seems weird it would be required when filling out the I-129F for the K-3 visa.

 

I am aware the I-129F for K-3 will almost 100% be closed/rejected/whatever. Since they'll probably just see that the I-129F is for the K-3 and ditch it, should I just leave the history out of it? It won't make it far enough for a background check anyway.

yes.

perhaps because the beneficiary once in the USA with an immigrant status is less vulnerable to a violent petitioner than a K visa entrant who awaits adjustment of status.

That would be perjury.

Intentional Misrepresentation on ANY immigration form is unwise.

it is always good to read thru instructions as u r legally responsible for the form and all is explained

 

under General Directions the instructions have added this statement

 

Biometric Services Appointment. USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide fingerprints, photograph, and/or signature at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), before making a decision on your application, petition, or request

DO NOT LIE, by commission or omission, on ANY immigration form.

 

Your success in this immigration process depends on your reading accurately, interpreting instructions literally, and answering completely and honestly.  Do what's right.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
