hello

I am new to the forum so bare with my questions

I am about to petition my fiancee thru the K1 visa i have read most of the guides shown here and has somwhat an understanding of how the process work

but I have a few concerns regarding on what needs to be sent in the initial packet

just to let you guys know I have a misdemeanor for domestic violence that happend about 7 years ago

most people think of the worse when they hear domestic violence that was not the case with me

I already got a certified copy from the court regarding the incident

my question is will this affect a decision on approval and also is the court papers all i need to turn in??

this is the only concern that I have other than that just what to send in the initial packet

if someone can do a checklist for me as whats on the website is a bit confusing

thank you very much for your time it is much appreciated

Honestly the process seems more difficult than it is. It is more annoying than anything but there really is no need for a lawyer or consultant. I'm not familiar with any visa consultants but they really are unnecessary and a waste of money, unless you don't want to bother doing the paper work yourself.

It's my understanding that a misdemeanor is ok and shouldn't cause you any problems.
