I29F Fiance Visa Criminal Record Question

[chrisana 0]

Hello all, I have a question regarding Part C on the I29F application. The question regarding criminal records. I had did have an arrest and conviction 1time in the mid 70's for a controlled substance. The question ask if you had 3 or more arrests so I answered the question no. Can anyone tell me what might happen when they do the background check and find this arrest? Will they ask for any documentation and if they do what kind of documentation.

Thank You

Chris

I assume you are the beneficiary? They will probably ask for any court documents you have and everyone needs a police check for their interview. As it is a drug related offense you might/probably will be denied at least initially and you will have to file a waiver to get a visa. What embassy will you be interviewing at?

They will do nothing.... If they do a background check and find THREE arrests then they might do something....

Why would you assume that? The I-129F is prepared by the USC and part "C" asks questions about the petitioner

The criminal record is on me the petitioner.

Crimes related to controlled substances are often treated differently.

The only thing that makes a USC ineligible to petition are certain sexual predator / sex offender convictions....

The question is NOT about the alien benneficiary

The general rule is that failure to disclose a no-no, even if the no-no is a minor thing that won't matter, would cause you more trouble than the no-no itself.

It is always best to seek the advice of an immigration lawyer. The cost of a professional consultation is well worth the trouble you can avoid as a result.

Did you read the answers already given? Do you even have a clue. A single controlled substance conviction for the US Citizen is a non-issue. Stop muddying the waters.
