Adam walsh act

[Lilaaaa 0]

I have a question and need help. My husband is not sure whether the girl in his case was a minor. He and a group of young guys were involved, " the chage was groupe sexual assault « and she was their friend. He doesn't remember the details because the situation traumatized him, and he tried to erase it from his life after serving two years in prison. 

My question is: if the girl had been a minor, is it likely he would have received only a two-year sentence? He did plead guilty. ChatGPT told me that in most cases involving minors, the minimum sentence is usually higher than two years. While we wait for the court report, I need guidance from someone who knows the law, because my life is on hold. Thank you.

Do not rely on ChatGPT for legal advice.

This is a serious situation. It is hard to tell whether he is eligible to sponsor you, without court records. A lot depends on nature of crime.

You can probably look up his name on any of the public sex offender registries and see what the specific charge was.

 

Also, consult a lawyer regardless.

He either needs to search the records and find out of file in the blind. If his crime falls under the Adam Walsh Act, USCIS will find it and he'll hear it from them in a year or so.  He knows where the crime occurred, and when.  Searching for the record is not difficult.

you need an "excellent" immigration attorney

 

 

and i am sure the incident traumatized all those involved

but doesn't mean he gets to forget

not only does he need to know the details but he needs to tell you everything

if you are lucky enough to get to interview stage , the CO  will question you about his criminal past

 

2 years ?  he may have been a minor himself

OR 

that was a plea bargain for testifying 

 

all criminal charges are important for immigration and not looked at lightly not just the Adam Walsh act persons

USCIS  has the duty in these cases to ensure the USC is not a threat to the immigrant

if you plan for spouse visa , plan for a long process and possible waiver 

like i said "get a good good lawyer"
