Do criminal accusations cause a problem for the K1?

If he is the beneficiary and not the petitioner than I may of given him wrong advice. Pull your police record or public record in Norway and if theres something on it, you will have to report. Sorry for not reading further into this.

Find the truth to go forward, even if you need to hire an attorney for advice. Good Luck.

You dont need a lawyer at this stage. Read this link it is the Dept Of State, determining ineligibility. This is the guidelines / regulations that is used to determine who is admissable and who is not. What is and what isnt a crime involving Moral Turpitude. http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86942.pdf

Yes you must report all of your arrest and conviction BUT only the arrests that you were CONVICTED can they hold against you depending on the nature of it ie: moral turpitude, drugs....etc!! Been through it myself, been denied my visa, had to file for a waiver of inadmissability and all!! Retained a lawyer and got through it all...very time consuming but it is all worth it in the end! I am now residing in th US with my hubby!! Good Luck to you!

So you have an ONGOING case at the moment? I'd think you would have to close that issue before coming to the US but maybe I am wrong. When you leave your country I hope it does not follow you. I just read about a German woman living in the US who may be deported because Germany wants her arrested for something that happened years ago in Germany. Personally I'd make sure all issues were fixed before I left the country.

Yeah i have an ONGOING case, if i am lucky the charges will be dismissed very soon. I dont think they will hand me over a copy of the my police record, and if they do it have to be something really special. But hey i can always ask the police, i did ask them before and they told me "sorry sir, you cant get the record of you in your hand, it is a sensitive document (still its just a copy)."

Would it help if i got my lawyer to write a letter that i can add to the NOA2 document?

once again thnx guys, btw have any of you guys been in the same situation and if so, what did you do on filling out the papers?

I read about a small criminal case about a year ago where the bad guy reported to court, was very sorry it happened, it was a one time incident and he was not a career offender, and he had planned to leave the country and move to the US. The judge opted to drop the case in the interest of justice because even a shoplifting conviction will cause havoc in trying to come to the US. maybe in your case you can show your plans to emigrate and they will dismiss all the charges quickly to let you carry on. You will be out of their hair too so they have nothing to lose.
