Hi, 

My fiancé and I are collecting all the documents necessary to file form I129 K1. He is a US citizen- when he was 15 he was arrested for a fight at school with an ex-girlfriend. The case was expunged shortly after, no charges were pressed, as per the information we are finding, he still needs to procure a criminal record check. 

 

However, due to COVID, it's impossible for us to get this as he can't get the fingerprints done which are needed for the record to be given. What can we do? 

 

Thanks

Are you sure his local police department requires his finger prints to obtain police report? Have you tried calling them to clarify this information?
The reason I ask is because normally in my town you would have to go to the police station to pay and obtain a police report. Now, due to COVID, they are able to email you it and it’s free. The police department may have changed their requirement.

 

Additionally, I’m not completely sure the police record is required at the initial stage of k1 (this did not apply to use) but if it’s required now, and you followed what I mentioned above, and send the application without it, you risk a denial and I would recommend to wait to file until you have it then.

Some states don't keep juvenile records once the offender has turned 18. I don't think you would need them.

There have been many cases where an applicant believes that his record is no longer available but later on they are informed by USCIS with an RFE that during the background check they had found the information and the applicant is now faced with producing the record. Now producing can be as simple as a letter from the local authority stating that none exist. At that time, the individual would be clear. Just saying.

I'm in a very similar boat. I easily got my UK and Colombian records online.

 

The South Korean one is much more complicated. You have to apply at a local embassy, which I can't legally enter right now in the country I'm in because of the local quarantine. Infuriating is an understatement.
