criminal record problems

[nathan r gale 0]

does anyone know of any criminal records that will cause them to deny your petition?

I have a few charges for poss of marijuana i don't think it should be a problem. I am still worried and nervous about it. Just wondering if any of you have any information....

Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary?

i am the petitioner I am born and raised here in the USA. i am just worried of my criminal record. No felonies but Im just nervous cause i have a lengthy record....

OK, is it a "few charges for poss of marijuana" or is it a "lengthy record"?

A "lengthy record" could possibly have an effect depending on the contents of the record.

Did you file both an I-129F and I-130?

no its about 4 charges of possesion. I think only 3 convictions...all other charges were dropped. thats what i meant. To me, its a lot and I'm embarrassed about it but what can I do.

Your profile says K-3 so I assumed you filled an I-129f. If you had you would have to comply with IMBRA requirements and submitted court and police records for crimes related to controlled substances on three or more occasions.

No i have an attorney that had me file an I-130. She said this would be easier or something. I am waiting for that approval now. thats why i am nervous if they ask for proof cause i work offshore and won't be here to get it. thankfully I have nice parents that can for me and send it to the lawyer.

You should be OK since you are using a lawyer.
