Accident some 21 years ago

[Auds 223]

Now that my I-130 is approved, am looking and relooking at NVC process so we can have all ready.

I just recollected I had a car accident when I was 18 years old (some 21 years ago). The car tire burst (dad's car) and it veered.. there was some injury to people in another vehicle. Although my car had not touched theirs they got nervous seeing my veering car and turned the steering suddenly and their pick up overturned.

A lot of police stuff was in Arabic ( I don't speak) and the pick-up driver was nervous as it was not his pick-up he said he wanted to file a case. There was some sort of case and I remember visiting court twice. They didn't get anything. I had to pay for a tree that damaged and a fine. The fine was then reduced as it was not my fault and I got a refund.

Do I mention this in court column of the NVC form (whenever I get there) - this is all I remember and I don't have a single paper from then.

Question 2 - I realise its me (beneficiary) who will get the next set of forms from what I read on this site. Is that correct? My address has changed since finding I-130 and possibly may change again in a month.

I do have a fixed mailing address - if snail mail is what they use.

You should request for your police record from where it occurred. There should be a record somewhere.

Check the GUIDES and look for NVC PROCESS.. It will tell you what you will need.

You will definitely need a police record.

NVC is not interested in your explanation of the accident. They need the record.

You will need a good email address and of course your mailing address.

Follow the guides...not that difficult to follow.

good luck!

Yes you should include it even if it's accident from 21 years ago, it's important to be as honest as possible. You should ask if you can get the police certificate translated if it's in Arabic.
