[delow 0]

I would like to know if my pass jail record will cause me not to get my wife here? I never thought something I did 25years ago would stop me from being with my wife but since I have been reading information on line I am very worryed. I love her so much and will move to china if I need to because I can not live with out her. Can you please let me know what you think? I know I must sent a police record and I thinnk a prison record who will this effect us?

No. You're a USC. A criminal record for your wife would be a problem but not for the USC spouse.

A USC criminal record can cause some problems bringing a fiance though.

If you haven't filed yet, you'll find things a lot simpler if you only file the I-130 and skip the I-129F.

PERSONS CONVICTED OF CERTAIN SEX CRIMES MAY NOT PETITION FAMILY MEMBERS

by Michael J. Gurfinkel, Esq.

If you're engaged or even married to a U.S. Citizen or a lawful permanent resident who was convicted of certain sex crimes against children, he may not be able to petition you or any other family member, under the recently enacted Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 ("Adam Walsh Act").

That law, signed by President Bush on July 27, 2006, is designed to protect minors (under 18 years of age) from sexual exploitation and violent crime, child abuse, and child pornography, promote Internet safety, and to honor the memory of Adam Walsh (a 6 year old boy from Florida, who was kidnapped and killed), as well as other children who were crime victims.

Under the Adam Walsh Act, U.S Citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) who have been convicted of any "specified offense against a minor" are prohibited from filing any family-based immigrant petition on behalf of any beneficiary, unless the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) determines (in DHS's sole and un-reviewable discretion) that the petitioner poses no risk to the beneficiary. In other words, the petitioner would need to obtain some sort of "waiver" in order to petition family members.

The Adam Walsh Act also prohibits U.S. Citizens convicted of these crimes from petitioning spouses or fiancés for a "K" non-immigrant visa (i.e.: may not file a fiancée visa).

Other than crimes against children I dont think it should. It seems that you paid the price long ago & that should satisfy the requirements.

A lot of us have been in jail. Its the nature of the offence that will dictate the future. If your crime was extreme you better check on room rates in China.

I would amend my answer to match. Unless you crimes include those crimes against children specifically mentioned in the Adam Walsh act, I wouldn't worry. If they are, you'll be living in China, if they'll have you. They have some immigration standards too.
