Hello everyone.

First, let me thank you all for the great info available in this website. I am going to get married soon, but I am a bit scared because, I've been to jail once because of a fight I got into in a bar like five years ago. This was back in Puerto Rico. Do you see any problem when I submit the petition for mi wife to be?

Thanks again

From someone who has worn orange more than I care to admit, you are perfectly ok. Just don't lie about it and make sure your spouse is aware of it as they may ask her about it at the interview.

Make sure you disclose it and have your wife indicate that she is aware of the charges, arrest, and 'orange jump suit' time

Good luck

IR/CR Visa Petition (I-130) doesn't ask about petitioner's criminal history. IMBRA doesn't apply if you're already married so US Embassy probably won't ask.

I was convicted of a felony years ago and it was never mentioned in the process.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US



A Good Example of why to NEVER use a Fixer in the Philippines

:thumbs:

I (petitioner) had been arrested and had received the protective order and later this case had been disposed (not convicted) off.

During I-130 process, it was not an issue.

Arrest is not at all an issue unless convicted. Even minor convictions (unless it is for moral turpitude etc.) are non-issue sometimes.
