    Marieke H got a reaction from OldUser in DS-260 crime sections - Verdict Appeal   
    I knew all this sounded familiar... We went through this whole exercise with OP last year, and then they did not take these crimes very seriously either and even considered lying about them:

    You will still have to disclose the arrests, and provide court records. 
     
    Yes, "they" understand that people make mistakes, but they are also free to decide to not give you a visa because we don't need someone who makes these kind of mistakes in the US. 
     
    And I'm glad that you feel like your sentence isn't that much, but the crimes really are a big deal. When you are asked about the crimes during a visa interview, your attitude won't help. It's a serious matter, and you'll have to take it seriously.

    You seem to want to hear from us that there won't be any issues and that those crimes are no big deal. But they are serious enough to cause issues. We can't give you legal advice; you will need a lawyer for that. 
     
    However, as already mentioned, the chance of being selected is extremely small, so this really is a non-issue at this time.

    This certainly seems to outside the scope of a DIY case.  The possibility of 4 months in jail is significant, imho.

    You don't seem to take this very seriously.  Your arrests are a very serious matter to immigration officers and they will take them into consideration regardless of how much you try to minimize your actions.

    To the OP, Just because your conviction gets overturned on appeal does not give you a clean slate. You will have to produce police reports and after reading them the officers will have a picture of your personality. Just because you beat charges in court does not mean you didnt do it. Most of the time its because of a lenient Judge or sloppy police work. The officers will see through all that legal mumbo jumbo and deny you. Assaulting officers who pull you over is not taken lightly. Threats to do harm shows your violent way of thinking. Conviction is not needed to deny you as there are probably 100 other candidates to take your place. This is the consequences of your actions that day.

    It’s important because the longer you leave it the less chance there is of getting a visa due to the numerical limits on the DV. But your chances of getting selected are so small anyway so I doubt it will be an issue. 
     
    And you’re again trivialising your crimes. They’re hate crimes, they’re not ‘very small’. If you do ever get a visa interview you’ll need to be contrite and not try to minimalise what you did.

    OP, why are you trying to immigrate to the US when you have such an apparent disdain for it's people?

    If you are acquitted are then all you need to do is truthfully declare the arrests. 
     
    But don’t trivialise it or assume any one of those things won’t be any issue if you’re convicted. People with one crime from decades previously that didn’t receive a custodial sentence can be inadmissible to the US for life. Given how tough the US is on those with a criminal record then if you are convicted then you’re not likely to even be able to visit the US for quite some time (if ever). 
     
    But you’d need a lawyer, it would absolutely not be a DIY case. They’ll tell you for sure if you’ve any chance of going to the US. Take it one step at a time - wait and see what sentence you get, then you can consult with a good lawyer if you do get selected in the DV. Or even if you don’t and just want to find out if you can go to the US in the future.

    Please read the bottom of page 7 of the I-693 instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf.
     
    If the DS-3025 is complete, and the I-485 was submitted within a year from their medical, they do not need an I-693. You may need to include a cover letter explaining this, maybe even quoting the instructions.

    Marieke H reacted to bravebunny13 in Loophole for Visiting While I-129f Pending?   
    Full transparency, I am planning to visit my fiancé for long, about 4-5 months as I already have a B1/B2 visa.
    I have a full time job right now, and plan to get a letter of employment from my company before I quit, so I can show CBP the letter as proof of ties to my country.
    I'm planning to buy a full flex plane ticket which will state that I'll be visiting for 2 weeks (also going to tell CBP officer 2 weeks if they ask duration of stay), but once I've entered, I'm going to refund the return ticket and just get a new one once I'm ready to go back after a few months.
    Just wondering if what I plan to do is dangerous in any way? Everything I'm doing is technically legal..
     
    I'm just afraid come time for my actual K1 visa interview, I will be questioned on why I was in the US for so long.... even though there shouldn't be anything wrong with that in the first place since I just want to be with my fiancé.
    But will it come off really suspicious to the consular office during my K1 interview?
    Would just like to know if that will be affected in any way... any replies and advice will be much appreciated please!!
    My fiancé has a stable job so money isn't a cause of concern and I am able to be unemployed btw.. which is why I'm planning to quit my job after I have obtained letter of employment as proof.

    Marieke H got a reaction from Daphne . in Questions about entry after receiving the K1 visa   
    They use estimated processing times that are posted on the USCIS website, so to me it makes more sense to just look up estimated processing times yourself (which is free).
     
    It depends on the airport and your travel arrangements. If you have a layover at a Canadian airport before flying into the US, you may be able to clear immigrations in Canada. If you plan to land in Canada and drive across the border, your port of entry will be at the land crossing so you will go through immigrations there.
     
    You can not book the exact same travel itinerary as your fiance, because you will be a no-show for the first part of his travel, so they would cancel your return flight. He will need to book his travel, and as soon as he has the flight details for his flight back to the US, you book the same flight for yourself. You will probably need to book a round trip as if you are planning to fly back to Europe in a few weeks/months (because this is much cheaper than booking a one-way flight), and once you are in the US you can cancel that return flight.

    An interview is not a demonstration of your love for each other. It's a discussion about the details of your application.
     
    It is very unlikely that your interview will be waived. It is a long process, so you still have plenty of time to get ready for the interview.

    I was going to say the same thing, OP should post the entire rejection letter (remove all personal info).
    Also, what does the DS-3025 say? Was it marked complete? OP needs to check their copy just in case. It could've been missed.

    It would be VERY helpful if you could post the exact language of the 221G instead of just your interpretation of it. We might be able to figure out what it means.
