Spouse US citizen criminal records I -130 [merged threads]

[Diome 2]

Please I am just wondering if sponsoring spouse a US citizen for I -130 with crimial records of assult on officer, assult on girlfriend and theft can file for a spouse already in the United States.  With the US citizen the petitioner I -130 will be denied based on the past criminal records?

Well, only if the offences fall under the Adam Walsh Act.  (Sex crimes against a child/juvenile)  The offences mentioned in the post above are not an issue.

DV, Domestic Violence, is a BIG ISSUE, in life, but not to a spouse visa process.  Maybe to the intending immigrant this past behavior is a red flag, but not to USCIS or a Consular officer, in terms of whether to approve a petition or issue a visa.  A USC petitioner could be in prison for murder and as long as that crime didn't fall under the Adam Walsh act, the crime itself would not be grounds for denial.  It just is what it is.
