Problems in Casa (Merged Threads)

[Mahedi Benniss 0]

Hi, I had my IR1 interview earlier today at the Casablanca Consulate. It overall went really well. However, for the last question, the officer asked about a misdemeanor conviction from 2011. I disclosed everything on the DS-260, and submitted the court papers to the NVC. The papers reference a small theft under the influence of "drugs." They do not specify which drug(s) was/were used. When the officer asked about the case in the interview, I told him it was a mistake I made when I was younger. He took the papers I brought regarding the court case, and handed me the white administrative processing paper. He did not ask for any further documentation or clarification. He said he would get back to me in 2 or 3 weeks. The officer did not take my passport; the passport is in my possession. Based on the interactions from earlier in the interview, I feel confident I would have gotten the approval if it weren't for this conviction. My present court record and police record have been cleared since the incident in 2011. This is my only criminal offense. 

 

Can anyone provide any insights as to what might be going on, and what my outlook might be for getting the immigrant visa approval? Thanks in advance!

you will be in AP for extended security checks while the CO reviews the documents and your medical exam to see if any drug issues are raised by the physician.  this can take days, weeks or months

I would guess CO wants to know what drug "influence of drugs"  involved so they may need to contact the court. Did you serve time in Jail?

 

I am familiar with Moroc courts and others here should know that in Moroc,  there is not a trial with testimony, and witnesses but when a person is accused of a crime ,  a judge decides jail and time in jail / and is often payed under the table to lessen the jail time except for major crimes like murder.  those crimes are life sentences automatically.

 

you may be asked later to respond with additional documents and/or the passport 

usually this is done thru Aramex 

 

CEAC site will say refused till the CO makes the decision to issue visa or refuse 

Denied the case would be returned to USA with a NOIR (notice of intent to  revoke ) or NOID (notice of intent to deny)  the USC would be receive notice about 6 months from date of interview.
