Domestic violence conviction and dismisal

[Rail 0]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think there is a waiver needed for criminal convictions listed under IMBRA if it is your 1st petition. If you read it carefully, the criminal convictions only come into play if you have filed multiple petitions.

You are actually wrong. Criminal convictions are disclosed and records provided regardless of the number of petitions filed. Waivers have nothing to do with criminal convictions. You need a waiver if you are filing your second K1 petition within two years. The law actually reads "more than two" but USCIS is requiring the waiver from people filing their second petition.

So I don't need to send a waiver with the papers? Also, I only have court records and not poilice records. To get a copy of the incident report you have to be the victim. Will court records be enough? Thanks

I agree with pushbrk. This is such an important thing that you really don't want to trust it to chance. Get a legal opinion so you don't find yourself wasting even more money and time.

I may have worded it wrong. I myself filed with domestic charges on my record and disclosed everything (NOT A WAIVER) along with my petition (criminal history report / court documents). this is my 1st and only petition. What I was trying to say was that a "WAIVER" is only needed if its a multiple petition, and criminal convictions are present. Not that you have to provide documents for criminal conviction if its your first petition, because you DO have to do that. I was trying to say that waivers have nothing to do with criminal convictions by themselves.

Still worded wrong. You file a waiver if its a multiple petition, period. The criminal convictions come into play regardless.

There is no waiver for criminal convictions. You just provide the records, no matter how many petitions you've filed.

Your case is quite similar to mine. I went thru an attorney and checked the appropriate box. I got the approval. Include you court depositions with I-129F. I got approved and told everything honestly to my fiance. God Bless.

Thanks, I got everthing the court records showed about the case. I will next go to the sheriffs dept and see what they can give me. Are you supposed to send a letter explaining what happened or do you just send the papers and let them decide? yes , I also have confide with my fiance on this. If she is going to change her mind I want her to do it before we go thru all this. She is very understanding and told me she knows people have trouble in their lives. I am truly blesssed with her.
