criminal report

[jenni and sami 0]

Hey ya'll

I'm in the process of waiting for a RFE also because I know I missed the new forms by three days!!! Arg!! Wiah I would have double checked before sending them in. Anyway, it looks like all USC now have to have a criminal report sent in along with everything else if I am not mistaken. (Luckily I am not a criminal) But, can I go ahead and get a criminal report now, or does the date have to be closer to the time of the RFE receipt. It would be nice to have everything ready to go so it can be returned ASAP.

Also, I considered just going ahead and mailing in the new forms and the report...or should I just wait???

Any thoughts?

I think the new IMBRA form requires only those WITH criminal record to send any criminal report, read again.

The I-129F instructions state that if one has any convictions of those listed that one must then submit court and police records of such convictions. If you have no or none for those listed then you dont have to submit anything as there is nothing to submit.

Hey aussie

This is a strange question but....................wouldn't it be very easy for people to lie & say that they haven't commited any crimes? how are they going to verify this? are they going to check EVERY single petitioner's background?

IMBRA does not affect our petition-I was just wondering

yes they could.....but look at the consequences of doing such if an adjudicator uses any number of the data bases that are available to them and they find that the USC does have a conviction. A lie can come back to haunt so its not worth it, especially as according to the IMBRA, a petition wont generally be denied just because of any such conviction.

Any conviction on anyone would definitely come up in any background check. Plus they are not saying that convictions will lead to a denial.

I would send anything after I am asked to send. So I would wait for the RFE, then act accordingly.
