My gratitude to all for your feedback.
I'll look into a probono lawyer.
As far as the copies go, after the expungement you can't get anything from the court other than that there is nothing on your record. And all the dispositions and the originals, I submitted them to USCIS when they sent me the RFE for my RoC (i751). Would they still have them because they're the only people who do now! I I have copies but that's it. I mean they asked for originals and they go them.

what you can do is take copies to county clerk office specially the court disposition and get it certified from the court. Try to explain the situation you are in. Since it is there copy they might be able to certify the document. Do have the expungement letter from the court as well which will say no court record exist. Good luck

The five years is just a guideline.  They can go back as far as they want to determine GMC, especially since it was already discussed in your ROC.  Expunged records do not exist in immigration, make sure that you have a certified copy of the entire arrest, probation, license suspension, disposition because they are going to request it.  

They can go back further but if you are habitual offender of certain crime. For example if one person found guilty of DUI in 2011 and again he got caught in 2019 for the same offense it means you havent learn from the past and keep committing same mistakes. 

Same goes for the people who have 4 or 5 speeding tickets. Interviewer has every right to deny the application since the person is not learning from the mistakes and keeps repeating the same mistakes which is speeding. 

If only got one DUI normally interviewer does not look further the statutory period which is 5 years. 

All these scenarios are based on only got arrested once. Otherwise interviewer can go back more than 5 years statutory period.

As much as I want to I can't afford one right now.
If I file now and get rejected because of the DUI thing, would that affect me filing again in another 5 years ? Would that look bad for the future that my application got denied (God forbid)?

Hello Thanks for the message.

Here is the thing, i would wait five years after completion of the probation. You should had not filed for expungement since now all the data is wiped out from the court, but i am hoping you do have CERTIFIED court dispostion before you filed for expungement.

There are conflicting theory when to file either the date of incident or when the probation was over. I always tell people you never know which interviewing officer you will get so it is always better to wait till the probation is over and count 5 years from the date when it was completed. 

If you get denied based on Good Moral character you will have no impact on future filing since you were purely denied of lack of goodmoral character. 

Make sure you have certified court disposition.Otherwise it will be a problem for you when you file.

I provide all original or certified court copy of my  disposition 

 

My friend is an immigration attorney 

he said , if u sue USCIS they will finds a tiny problem denied  your case

 

Today is 8 months after interview 

I Hope the miracle will happen in 2022 January

because 2021 is so suck

To be honest your friend is wrong. Uscis doesnt deny cases on purpose. You always have the right to challenge the outcome of the case by filing 336 in which another officer will review the case.

My friend its upto you to keep waiting but i have never heard USCIS intentionally denying someone specially if your friend is immigration lawyer. Remember visa delayed is visa denied

What judge? What court?

 

Seriously.  OO

You are definitely having hard time to understand, i was just talking general not in this case. When someone pleads guilty to something there is a disposition which is signed by the judge even that dispostion needs to be certified by the county clerks office. If you send that signed document to uscis, uscis does not take that into account since it does not have court seal on it. But at the same time it is signed by the judge.

He has a signed letter from the county attorney.  
 

When I write someone a letter and sign it, that is an original document.  
 

You are making assumptions about the operations of the Belton County Attorney’s office that don’t seem to have any basis.  
 

Over and out.  

As i said before do what pleases the op. I am not here to convince anyone. It still needs to be certified. Even disposition which is signed by the Judge needs to be certified by the court EVEN THOUGH it is signed by the judge. 

This uscis we are talking about they dont care about who signs it until its certified from the court or by the police department.

The RFE says to submit an original. OP has an original. 

In certified copy there is a seal from the court or the police department which makes it certified.

How do you differentiate original from the copy??? These are police/ court documents we are talking about. I myself had to go through this, So i know what i am talking about even if he has original let say why doesnt he get certfied from arresting agency to make it 100 percent legal document? The arresting agency never gives out a orginal they make a copy of the orginal and then you tell them to pkease certify the orginal. That makes it a legal document. Rest is upto the op whatever he/she wants to do. 

If you read the first point certified statement from the arresting agency.

Here is the rejection letter and RFE. Sorry for not posting earlier 

Anything you submit needs to be certfied from the police department which was the arresting agency. I don't see any certification on rejection letter. This might result in denial if you dont get it certified from agency. original or copy doesnot matter if its not certified. Just go to the arresting agency ask them to to certify the copy. There might be a fee for this but its worth it.

Your green card is still perfectly valid, and you are completely legal. They would have to put you into removal proceedings, and a go to court before anything changes there.

 

Please update here with what happens with your case. I suspect your lawyer will recommend appealing the denial if there is nothing obviously wrong with your application.

 

Hey its been a while i came back to this forum and i am glad you are done with the process. That moving out of state worked for you, Great. Also you saved money by not filing Mandamus.

On the above post i am puzzled that why they denied since they had no valid reason according to the OP. filing 336 will mean more money but its worth it if it was denied wrongfully.

Nope I have not. No arrest or crime. I have just 1 speed ticket.

Have you ever register to vote or have you ever voted in any local or federal election?

Nope they never mentioned what it was. so I am confused.

It is taking about Statutory period  or good moral character, have you ever been arrested or charged with a crime within last 5 years?

waiting your good news

unfair in USA 

haha

Did you provide certfied court disposition at the interview? If the interview is passed 120 days you have every right to sue the uscis to issue a decision lemme know if you need a attorney. I know someone who sues uscis on regular basis and this is what he is good at.

I've a DUI on my record which was expunged. Waiting for N400 interview to be scheduled. I'm not sure how the 5 year wait/good moral character plays out. As I applied within 3 years of my offense date and I'm divorced from US citizen!

You should have NOT expunged the case since it always seems that you are trying to wipe out the conviction. Since you are not married to US CITIZEN so will have to wait 5 years of good moral character if its within that period its upto the interviewing officer to grant the status or not. 

Since the DUI is expunged i am not sure of you have court certified disposition which they willask at the interview. Hopefully i am wrong but things might go south for you since everything is in statutory period.

My estimation time of completion jumped from 12 months to 13 months recently. After 17 months of waiting? No response from USCIS about this. Even no help from Senator's offices. Can anybody explain this? I had my biometrics on February 19, 2020.

No words for explanation. I just hope you get schedule soon for interview Good luck.

Hhhhmmmm, that's longer than normal for expedited....

 

My 'regular' application also went to Charleston after being bounced for 5 full weeks. Almost 6 weeks from then, and still waiting..  

 

Applied: 2-Apr

In-Process: 6-May

 

At least I can hope to get the certificate sooner after the approval.... 

Yeah i know that is unusual for expedited but given the circumstances and less people working at the passport office i am glad i am now done with the passport process. People have been waiting soo long for the certificate. 

couple years back my parents applied even standard process took them 10 days for the passport to arrive. So right now nothing is normal.

5 minutes ago, Jhon_A said:

So you received your certificate 6 days after your passport book?.... I have 2 weeks waiting for my certificate.

That is true i cannot believe it myself. I was thinking it might take atleast 2 weeks aince alot if people have quoted they waited 2 to 4 weeks from recieving passport.

So here is my timeline for passport EXPEDITED

Applied May 1st. 

In Process May 12th.

Passport shipped June 8th. 

Passport recieved June 9th Wednesday.

Passport card recieved June 12th

Certificate recieved June14th 

This is Charleston south Carolina processing center.

Good luck everyone.

I was arrested back in the mid 2000s. It was mistaken identity and quickly resolved as such. I declared it on all my forms and have a police certificate showing no convictions and police computer print out showing no charges etc. Is that enough for an N400 interview? It’s hard to get any more documentation because there wasn’t any! 

Just a police print out wont work. Go to the county court with the case number and check if they have any kind of documentation on your case like disposition or case dismiss letter. If they have anything get it certified showing case was dropped. If not then ask police station to certify the document which shows the case was dismiss. Good luck
