Criminal Background at CSC question

[beccajayne93 17]

Hey VJers,

I have tried searching other posts but most are outdated and involve TSC or CSC when it used to be backlogged. I was just wondering if anyone with a recent, similar circumstance could help me out so I know what to expect!

I am only at the 36 day mark at CSC waiting for my NOA2. Needless to say I am wondering if I will fall behind other members petition approvals as my fiancé, the US petitioner, has a criminal history. He was convicted one time of theft of the third degree 5 years ago, did 6 months time and 1.5 years house arrest.

I was just wondering if anyone with a criminal conviction wanted to share their experience compared to others in waiting for their NOA2 as my fiancé for sure will show up with a "hit" on the system at CSC. I.e. did your NOA2 come a few weeks, a few months, or a year later due to a search? I also know each case would be different but I would just like to see some concrete evidence of others with similar experiences.

Thank you for your help!

Hi! I am also a Canadian filer and i read Q and A with a former USCIS Adjudicator awhile ago and i think it might be kind of what your looking for http://www.visajourney.com/content/adjudicator-q-and-ascroll down to the question what types of things are red flags in someones file. I realize this data is kinda old but i hope it helps! I don't think you should have much of an issue because it is the USC with the record. not the Canadian.

How old was he during the conviction? Felony or misdemeanor? How much was the amount?

Thanks for that! I just read this Q&A the other day which is actually what made me start having questions lol.

I'm not really looking into going into too much detail. I realize the harsher the crime the longer the background search might take... I was just wondering if anyone else with a conviction had to wait much longer for their NOA2s than the filers who filed around the same time.
