If you are only using assets to make up for a short fall from w2 income let's say $2,000 and your assets are 20x that amount with retirement account being over the required age will you have an issue ? Also if the joint sponsor is married and can show there own income and personal account will they be required to still do a I-864a from the other spouse ?

So your say the consulate won't review the documents prior to the interview ? That doesn't make since if so I get the NVC bypassing there job but you would think the consulate would look over things like the NVC prior to the interview I'm pretty sure I did the 864 correctly I have 2 I'm doing I did both the same just swapped the principal names on each form. Seem straight forward

Will they look at the documents prior to setting the interview to insure there's no errors. I'm worried I didn't fill out the 864 correctly or missed something ?

If the NVC and embassy approves expedited and NVC sends the case to the embassy does that mean your DQ? There's no notice of DQ in the portal just that the case was forwarded to the embassy. I'm assuming NVC would not forward a imcomplete case that's missing documents or forms filled out wrong correct ?

Juvenile records are protected if done so by the court and depending on the age of the offender they are not convictions for immigration purposes even JV sex convictions can't be used unless the same as or more severe than aggravated sexual abuse described in the section under statue. USCIS doesn't have access to epunged JV cases for US citizens unless the person was tried as an adult I know this for a fact! Adult records are not shielded from USCIS they see everything from adult offenders! This is my second approval but things changed so I thought I would ask what the procedure is seems all checks are done prior to approval status.

I was already appoved a bit ago ! Reason I was asking

I had a case but the charges where ammended to a non sexual charge then I had something as a minor but those charges where expunged so it appears I'm good then ?

Is the background check performed prior to the i-130 being approved for the petitioner? or is this done at the NVC ? From what I understand the NVC is only checking the beneficiary and sponser documents and application documents. So If you have an approved i-130 shouldn't have any issues with criminal background correct for the petitioner going forward? Also roughly whats the process times for NVC ? I hear things are moving fast now!

I have a question regarding language barrier. Does the officer interviewing care if my wife & I don't speak the same language? My wife speaks very little English I was just wondering we use devices and we both are currently studying to learn the language. Also I'm wonder does USCIS have access to our passport information ? I'm traveling again soon in a few months to visit my wife do I need to update my passport stamp as new evidence I heard USCIS has access to the boarder protection system and they just look you up regardless if you submit your passport stamp and it shows entry and exit information is this true ?

I'm in the USA

I don't have any charges for violence however one the of the charges is a DV charge for phone harassment as well it's a non person offense so I'm not sure how that will play out with the k1

Thanks for the reply I honestly would prefer the k1 I'm just concerned with the above listed in the first post I posted. I hear the k1 is faster too

I can't really seem to make up my mind. I'm REALLY needing some help and keep flip flopping on which way to go. I even hired someone to help me but they are confident I can get approved but my confidence is not great LOL so I'm looking for a second opinion. I have a pretty good criminal history record. Felony theft no assault charges , No violence etc. or No drug offenses or NO DUI charges go back all to when I was younger I'm in my mid 40s now. I don't have any convictions that I would think follow under AWA I think , However I have an arrest that shows up on my FBI report that looks absolutely terrible it defiantly is a AWA charge with a minor, it was quickly dropped due to lack of evidence so they amended the charges and charged me with a misdemeanor non person it wasn't sexual even noted on sentencing document and the state statue on the end conviction doesn't follow under any crimes against a minor, but is still connected to this arrest. I'm concerned since I was arrested this will raise red flags even though I wasn't found guilty of the arresting charges but I took a plea in another charge resulting in a non person conviction which I would think trigger a AWA flag for a deeper dive with k1! Next problem - I have done several background checks on myself to insure that I have all the correct information and do not lie on any forms and I'm honest. I have obtain all my certificate court documents from the courts with my disposition and have police reports, these police reports are not certified and the state police do not certified police report hopefully this is not a issue and the court documents will be enough! after this issue next HOWEVER I think I might have a Juvenile offense, I really do not know. I remember something serious happening when I was 13 to 15 I was a victim of some crime and it resulted me having some type of law contact and possible trouble. I can't get any type of information and there's no record or any obtainable document ANYWHERE. I have done fingerprint scans , state checks and national online public checks and nothing shows up. So if I don't know what this was about how do I proceed ? Juvenile offense are protected and normally are destroyed at the state level and the county tell me I don't have any offense anywhere as a Juvenile and IF I did they can't get me any type of document since it was destroyed after 30 years and they will not provide a document saying no record found for me, it's against there policy . So If I'm RFE I'm SOL and I have no record of what happened what I read according to uscis website and rulings Juvenile Convictions. In general, a guilty verdict, ruling, or judgment in a juvenile court does not constitute a conviction for immigration purposes. A conviction for a person who is under 18 years of age and who was charged as an adult constitutes a conviction for immigration purposes. I also see there's a policy statement mentioning USCIS not able to obtain Juvenile records at all after a person reach's a certain age and are not allowed access to the files ,They can however ask if the information is provided. In addition this this I had have had an approved i-130 back in 2007-2009 so I would think my record wouldn't be a issues since I have no new charges since that approval but things change and maybe something was overlooked With all of this being said which route would be best k1 or cr1? What's the timing vs each of them ? I can go both routes my fiancé has kids as well which I think will slow the process down as well with the CR1.

Hi, I have a few questions. I have searched the forum thoroughly and it's mixed. I'm aware all adult offenses need to be listed on the i-129F however it appears Juvenile offenses are not processes of immigration purposes. I have a JV offense that was expunged its impossible to obtain the documents since they have been destroyed and I can not get a letter saying no record found the state refuses to do that and I can't remember the circumstances of the case very well since it was 32 years ago it was a felony ! I do know this charge doesn't show up on my FBI report after doing a fingerprint check with the FBI or on any state or county site. I contacted several attorneys and they all say that only adult offenses are ones needed to be listed unless charged as an adult in Juvenile court and for immigration purpose Juvenile convictions are not crimes or purpose for immigration use this seems to be the case where beneficiaries with JV charges for felonies have been able to obtain citizenship and I'm the Petitioner The next issue I have is I'm unable to obtain certified police reports this is not something offered to the general public in this state. I can however get certified court records from the courts showing my adult charge outcomes and dispositions with court seal. I can also get a certified document with a background check done from the state with seal that shows my charges and the dispositions of the sentencing on my adult record. Some input would be amazing. I have several felony theft charges , criminal damage to property felony, some misdemeanor charges , Nothing on my adult record is violent or person crimes or drug or alcohol related all convictions are about 16 years old.
