Official letter of our RFE and its states:

[libay 0]

please submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions, for every such conviction.This is required even if ur records were sealed or otherwise cleared or if anyone,including a judge, a law enforcement officer or attorney, told you that you no longer have a record..

As far as I know my fiancée had sent all of the documents with regards to his police records, since in late 2005 he has committed a misdemeanor battery but it was terminated thereafter the case was closed…so my question is what else do they need?do they need the latest update that he was cleared already????please help!

It is true that no records are hidden from USCIS. There is no such thing as sealed or expunged.

It seems you aware the focus is the Assualt "battery" charge is the issue. I think what they are looking for is not copies but a up-to-date disposition from the Court with a signature from the clerk stating the outcome of the charges and/or arrest at that time. This new document to satisfy USCIS should be stamped/signed by the County Clerk. Save the Original. A copy is fine to satisfy. I would suggest to pay for 2 Originals and send One as well.

Battery is abuse. There was an Arrest and the record stands. The RFE wants to verify Documents before they let your Petition proceed.

No, it does not matter what he was CHARGED with, it only matters that he was CONVICTED of. Even if it is "sealed", "expunged" etc.. he needs to supply the records and maybe some discussion. This is done pretty much for the Fiancee's benefit so they can know any records the petitioner has.

submit certified copies of all court and police records

I-129F instructions, Page 3, 7.,A.

The COPY NEEDS TO BE AN ORIGINAL. Other than this part, I agree with most of what you said. They do not want a photocopy of this. It has to be a certified original copy. Original meaning from the place it was issued.

OP, you said you thought he sent his record. Maybe he did. However, he might have just submitted a background check. This would still warrant an RFE. The requirement for certain offenses under IMBRA is CERTIFIED COPY of court record for each crime AND certified police record. The certified court record can be obtained at the court where the case took place. Check with his state bureau of investigations on how to obtain a certified police record for immigration purposes. In the case of my state, this is what I would need to do.
