A guy convicted of crime

[meblue 5]

I got another question. Is the guy who got convicted with a serious crime but already got out in prison now, qualified to petition his asian girlfriend? He got more than enough income and assets and a US citizen.

Depends on the crime, more info is needed as to whether it will fall under the Adam Walsh Act.

Good luck

Qualified to pile the petition: Yes, anyone can file the petition...

Likely to get approved: Depends on what they were convicted of, even Adam Walsh Filers are getting approved nowadays it just takes more evidence and effort.

He forged documents like birth certificates, ID's etc and sold it to illegal alien. He just stayed in prison for couple of months and the court gave him provision and he's totally free now. He can't get a job because of his criminal record, he's self employed now, got his own business and he make good money.

Just want to correct my word. I mean he got Probation. Thanks

He's fine, it will probably slow down the petition and he might have to declare it on the petition. Expect them to ask you if you're aware of his criminal record and to give you a copy of it at interview.

Strangely enough, his offense isn't covered by the IMBRA or AWA, or in any way that I could find covered by any immigration law that would affect his ability to petition for a fiancee, or any other type of immediate relative or family based visa.

It's somewhat baffling, but if you were busted for pot 3 times then you'd have to dredge up all of your police and court records and submit them before they could approve an I-129F from you. If you were convicted of downloading kiddie porn, you would be banned from submitting ANY kind of immediate relative or family based visa, unless you could manage to get a waiver. However, if you were convicted of IMMIGRATION FRAUD, it wouldn't affect your eligibility to petition for anyone!

If his "Asian fiancee" happens to be from Vietnam, I'll bet the CO is going to barbecue her at the interview. I hope she's up for it.
