Hi,

Please help me. I've been sleepless lately :(

I am the sponsor and my husband (beneficiary) has a juvenile criminal record (2001) that was just PROVISIONALLY dismissed last year, 2010. He was never imprisoned or arrested. It was just a misunderstanding. We only found out recently that the case hasn't been closed yet so we fixed it and went through the proper "court process" and had it PROVISIONALLY dismissed. Do you think this will be a deal breaker for his chance to secure a visa? I decided to declare it but I am so scared that the officer might judge him. It is not true, I can vouch for that. It is a pretty serious accusation (child abuse). I talked to the complainant and he admitted it was all a big lie. just for money :(

Please help me... will this deprive him a chance to get a visa?

Thanks so much,

Mrs. P

It is not a deal breaker but is a complication that needs to be properly explained. If I was you I would hire an immigration attorney specifically for that: make plausible and accurate explanation for the CO.

Thanks so much. Is coming to the interview with a lawyer (Manila) allowed? Do we need to secure a permission for that?

Not for interview. You need a lawyer to draft an explanation letter that you bring to the interview and train your husband on what he should say. The lawyer will now the best wording.

Thanks so much for your help... I will definitely confide with the lawyer...
