Hi.
I've asked this question before buy I didn't get any clear answer.I'm getting ready to send the form DS-230 and required papers.my question is :Is the court and prison records required ? even it said this in the instructions packet :
Court and prison records
Applicants who have been convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court record and any prison record, regardless of the fact that he or she may have subsequently benefited from an amnesty, pardon or other act of clemency.
Court records should include:
• Complete information regarding the circumstance surrounding the crime of which the applicant was convicted
• The disposition of the case, including sentence or other penalty or fine imposed.
I have never been convicted of a crime so will I still have to submit a paper from the court stating that I have no prison records ??
Please read carefully first. It says,
Court and prison records
Applicants who have been convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court record and any prison record, regardless of the fact that he or she may have subsequently benefited from an amnesty, pardon or other act of clemency.
Court records should include:
• Complete information regarding the circumstance surrounding the crime of which the applicant was convicted
• The disposition of the case, including sentence or other penalty or fine imposed."
Then you also mentioned you have never been convicted of any crime. So now you tell me why do you need court and prison records when it says clearly "Court and prison records
