Can you share with other AWA peitioners your experience with USCIS over these 2 years?

Yes I am, But I've learned to stay quiet on these forums as 80% of the people that are not IMBRA filers are not here to help you, but instead, they want you, or us to fail , by saying its not possible, or giving misinformation.

I have yet to release any detials of my case, unless its by PM only to other IMBRA filers. What I'm trying to do, Is complie a list of who gets approved vs who doesn't and what the cases were and what was submitted or not submitted. So at least future filers can have an idea of what chance they stand. Instead of being in this "grey area" of who is approved or not approved.

I really like your idea nonversation. I also hesitate to disclose my husband's charge in front of the all visajourney users.

The fact is that USCIS is just beginning to be reasonable in reviewing AWA filers. Instead of routinely blocking them, USCIS is experimenting with guidelines to open the doors for selected petitioners. In a year's time, maybe it would be possible to determine a pattern of why some were approved, others not.

Over the past year or so I have periodically posted on this blog to update you about the status of a fiancé visa petition that a friend of mine filed with the USCIS in September 2007. My friend was convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor in the late 90s. I am an attorney and I agreed to help him navigate the immigration process.

In April 2009, my friend received a Notice of Intent to Deny from the USCIS. The Notice stated that the USCIS intended to deny his petition because he was ineligible to file a family-based immigration petition under the Adam Walsh Child Safety and Protection Act. In June 2009, my friend responded to the Notice by providing evidence to establish that he does not pose any threat or risk to his fiancé.

His evidence consisted of the following items: (1) A detailed personal statement discussing the factual background of his crime, his thoughts about (and expressions of remorse regarding) the unfortunate events that led to his conviction, and some background factual information about his relationship with his fiancé and his feelings for her; (2) a forensic psychological examination conducted by a licensed psychologist who specializes in the evaluation of sex offenders and regularly testifies during the sentencing phase of criminal trials regarding the dangerousness of convicted sex offenders; (3) letter of recommendation from a psychologist with whom my friend has consulted over the years to discuss issues in his life stating that my friend is not a dangerous person and presents no threat or risk to anybody, much less, his fiancé; (4) a certified copy of his criminal record to establish that he has only been convicted of one crime; (5) letters of support from his parents and other family members; (6) letters of support from his fiancé’s parents to demonstrate that they have met my friend, they know about his conviction and they fully support the marriage; (7) a letter from his fiancé stating that she is aware of the conviction and expressing her feelings for my friend; (8) a polygraph exam conducted by a licensed psychologist to show that he has not broken the law or been arrested since his criminal conviction over a decade ago, that his love and feelings for his fiancé are sincere, and that he intends to marry his fiancé and will not abuse her or otherwise mistreat her; (9) letters of recommendation from three of his friends who know about his commitment to his fiancé and his character; (10) letters of recommendation from volunteer organizations for which my friend volunteers; and (11) a letter of recommendation from his employer who knows about his conviction, his commitment to his fiancé and his character.

A few weeks ago my friend received a notice from the USCIS stating that his petition has been approved. The foregoing evidence will obviously not be appropriate for everybody because each case is different. I think you just have to think long and hard about your own personal situation, the people that you know who have credibility and who will go on record to support you and will vouch for your character. The Adam Walsh Act is a high hurdle and your burden of proof is extremely high. Think outside of the box, create a blueprint for the evidence that you need to submit and go get it. I hope this helps all of you and I wish you the best of luck with the process.
