question for a visa lawyer

[iluvnoodles 0]

hello,

I'm applying for a k3 visa this November. My question is I have a Injury to a child charge which i receive Deferred Adjudication probation.

This was back in 97', so I was wondering will this effect my k3 visa application in any way? I did 4 yrs probation. And no this did the result in a final conviction.

you may want to rethink that 'apply for k-3 visa' route...

You may be pegged for Biometrics whilst the I-130 is processing - if that's the case, expect an additional 4 months of casefile processing, before the I-130 is approved.

"Biometrics" what do you mean?

Is this some type of immigration investigation on my background?

I was told if my sentence was less than a year they would not care about it.

I have the documents of the case and I was told to send it with my application.

[Darnell 8,478]

no, usually if a US Citizen (YOU) is convicted of a felony, or have any arrest that is VAWA-related, then a biometric intake is done on you, at yer local USCIS office - it's another level of -

--taking fingerprints

--taking yer photo

Are you still looking for a visa lawyer? You must understand, immigration attornies, whilst they MAY be members here, do not answer specific questions about particular casefiles in open forum or even via PM - as this type of activity flips them into an implied 'lawyer-client' relationship, and as such, is a violation of their code of ethics.

However, even with that said, you might (and should) check out ilw.com and aila.org , to find an attorney that specializes in immigration issues.

If you were 'told something', then by all means do some basic research, vette the opinion that you've received.

No, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I am a big fan of Marc Ellis, though, an Immigration Attorney - should you google 'Marc Ellis Immigration' - you'll find his website, on the first page of the results set.

Good Luck , and Welcome to Visa Journey, that online DIY Immigration portal (with an emphasis on 'D' and 'Y')

Might be a good time to check out the guides section here, also review namechecks at http://www.usaimmigrationattorney.com/SecurityNameChecksAndAdministrativeReview.html

As darnell simplied.. CR1 is better... I have seen others that have had far more serious charges get approved with minimal delay... It wasnt your kid was it? dont need a domestic violence type of slant on the charge... they will look at your background and will likely mention it to her to see how well she knows you... shouldnt be much of an issue IMO.. but I'm no Denny Crane

I thought Darnell was really Denny Crane...

Hey !!! I've already said - I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.

Well, perhaps not in THIS thread, but hei !
