Hello,
I've very new to everything, and I've been working on the K-1 visa form and gathering documents that I know to be needed. I have some questions though, and my research for these answers haven't quite hit that marks. So if you will please help me with this, I would very much appreciate it. I want to be as thorough as possible with everything because this is so important to us. Please forgive me for my bluntness.
Major questions:
1. Part 2 - 24.a.-33.b. -- Her Father - her situation is one of those where her parent's split at a very young age, then her mother maliciously kept her father away. We know next to nothing about him other than his name (which I have my own doubts as to the validity of what her mother said it was). He died almost 20 years ago. Both my fiance and I have researched anything we can about him e.g. birth/death/marriage certificates, grave yard and tombstone records, and/or anything with his name in it (ancestry.com has been no help). Everything that comes back doesn't fit his demographics. There is so much unknown information; what do I put in the fields for her father?
2. Part 3 - 4.a,4.b.,&5.d. -- I have 2 arrests (I'll list the details below); one in 2011 and the other in 2017 - both of which I got a lawyer for and never had to go to court. In 2020, I had a background check done for employment, and it only came back with the 2011 arrest. So, on 4.a. I feel I should mark "Yes"; however, on 4.b. (also Part 8. Additional Information), I don't know if I should list both arrests. I'm not sure if what the background check came back with is what I should go by or not, so I'll put the details below. Btw, besides the background document, I have paperwork of the arrests such as lawyer correspondence, bail bonding, pink carbon copies from the court, letters, and receipts. How should I answer these?
2011 Arrest: Charges - (all misdemeanors) malicious mischief under $500, trespassing, and public drunk. So this was a church I broke into then out of while suffering a concussion after a totaling motor vehicle accident. The more important thing is that we (parents and I) got together with the church and agreed we would pay for the damages, and the church dropped the charges. I attended the next service to fully apologize to the reverend still fresh injuries and all.
2017 Arrest: Charge - Simple assault. This one is simply a mess for many reasons. The victim of the alleged assault was my super possessive and emotionally unstable girlfriend at the time. I could go into many details on this, but the short and sweet of it is that she immediately paid money to have the charge withdrew and dropped. I may not have even needed a lawyer for this, but a piece of mind when someone tries to frame you has no price.
Minor question:
Part 2 38.a.-38.h -- She just got her passport, but has never traveled out of Canada - we are working on to see about her flying here soon to visit if possible. Do I need to fill these out?
Again thank you. It means a lot to us. Please let me know what I should do.
