Husband tried cocaine in the past. He will be truthful at the interview.

I've seen posts addressing admission to marijuana and it appears the routine response is to ban the applicant for 6 months to a year coupled with regular drug testing. But what about cocaine? Anyone know what the response is for that?

Also my husband was convicted of simple possession of marijuana 11 years ago, he didn't do jail time, only 2 years probation. So we are anticipating the ban for that ... but we are still wondering what the response is to cocaine.

TIA

My wife has an N400 interview on July 1st, 2022 in Tucson. I am suspecting that they could be doing a combo interview since she has been waiting for her ROC to be approved since July 2020.

what should she bring to the I-751 interview if they decide to do a combo?

What kind of questions do they ask in the I-751 interview?

For the N-400 interview is there anything that should be brought that is not mentioned in the letter?

After 2 months of gathering documents and evidence, I've finally submitted the I-130s for my husband and our three stepdaughters! We submitted online, so I've already received NOA1s for all four applications. They are in Mexico (so CDJ consulate, aka very busy and backlogged), so I'm trying to do as much as I can now to speed up the NVC stage (have documents ready, etc.).

Can we start gathering documents now (like his police certificate and my employment letters/pay stubs/etc), or will they be considered out of date by the time we reach that stage?

Is there anything else I can be doing to be prepared for the next step?

Thanks so much - this forum has been a lifesaver!

I am US Citizen Petitioner for my Mexican Citizen Beneficiary. I am working on submitting my criminal history. I have one old charge for underaged drinking which i have gathered all the certified documents for. I only have one other arrest. This is where my problem is .

I was arrested in Mexico 2 years ago for drinking in public. I went to the place in Playa Del carmen where I was arrested to try to obtain the certified documents. The women working there said they do not keep records after 6 moths on arrests. Ok fine. I then asked if she could give me a letter stating that they have no record for my arrest, to which she refused and said they don t do that. What should I do now? Submit a letter explaining my situation? I really have no other way of obtains my record unless you guys have other suggestions.

I don t want to not say anything because i know that it will probably come up on a government background check. Should i just write a letter sating my situation and hope that is good enough? I don t want them to say i lied about my record.

it was a very small sketchy jail in a very corrupt town. They made me and my friends pay about $200US in cash each to get out. I do remember them writing all our info and taking finger prints and photos so it must be on record somewhere.

I just got off the phone with USCIS trying to request an expedite request. They say that since I have a non-US address on my I-130 application (I am living in Spain currently, though I am a US citizen), I will need to write postal mail to my service center to figure out how we can proceed and make an expedite request. This seems kind of silly to me that there is no way to contact the service center other than by postal mail, and not to submit a request but rather just to ask HOW I can submit a request. Has anyone had experience with this?
