UK K1 advice please re ACRO: No Trace (with arrest).

[judyann811 39]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can shed any light to either put my mind at ease or help me be more prepared... its re my ACRO/history. Sorry in advance for the lengthy post.

 

My (Im the beneficiary) K1 Visa interview is next week in London, UK. I have a current ACRO police certificate which states 'NO TRACE'. 3 years ago an ex boyfriend of mine was arrested for possession with intent to supply and I was subsequently arrested too - I had absolutely no idea about his activities and had just moved in with him but was told by the police at the time they needed to investigate me as I had already redirected a utility bill to the same address as him. I was released and not charged etc. 

 

My interview was supposed to be a few weeks ago but I was so paranoid about being asked for a SAR (subject access report) after reading posts on VJ so I rescheduled my appointment and now have my SAR, which outlines the arrest and states 'DISPOSAL - NO FURTHER ACTION' and 'REFUSED CHARGE' and it stated that my DNA/prints have subsequently been destroyed.

 

I can really only find information about people running into problems with denials and additional investigation required when they have a 'No live trace' status but mine is NO TRACE - the police found I was not involved or aware of the crime but I feel like I am being punished and am so scared that I'll run into issues at the consular because of someone else's crime!! It put me through such hell when it all happened and I am long gone from that relationship, but I feel like it still haunts me to this day as I have to go through these extra steps because of someone else and feel so stressed out and pretty angry everyday because I just want to be with my fiance!

 

Can anyone share any experiences about having a previous arrest to their name but a No Trace status and NFA on their subject access report?

 

Sorry for the long post.

You go to your interview and present your police report and SAR. There's nothing further to prepare. The evidence acquits you so what's the fear? You get to speak directly to a live person and explain any questions he may have.  Even people who actually committed crimes get visas, so why would you be denied when you did not commit a crime?
