    FWIW, I've only ever recieved mail scam texts when I actually have a package on the way. Maybe your visa is already en route and they forgot to update your status. Expecting any other packages/traceable mail?

    First, don't freak out. I was also freaking out over this (assuming you read my previous thread 🙂) and it ended up being not a big deal. IIRC we contacted the company who provided the J1 to my husband, they did not keep records longer than a few years. We kept that email exchange for evidence. We also submitted a couple FOIAs to try to track down records of the J1, we recieved replies that they did not find any records. We kept that exchange for evidence as well. At some stage (maybe AOS, honestly can't remember), we included all that evidence with an explanation letter detailing everything we remembered about the J1. Basically just the year it was given and used and the agency it came from. No one ever asked us about the J1 at any stage and it was never a problem. I could be wrong but I think the only thing they are looking for is related to whether or not the J1 had the home residency requirement and if so, that it was fulfilled or could be waived. Was your fiance in their home country for 2 years cumulative time after the J1 was done through when you applied for K-1? Because if so, I think you're fine. If you dont lie/withhold info, there is no available evidence of your J1, and you prove you did your due diligence to search for it, what more can you do? The chance of this messing with your K-1 is incredibly low IMHO.

    Thanks so much! Nebaraska/LIN service center - applied Feb 17, 2022. Biometrics were waived in late March 2022 iirc.

    Just found out, thanks to informed delivery, our green card has been mailed! We did not apply for N-400 and no ROC interview. What a surprise to see today 🤩

    If it helps your stress, we didn't have a honeymoon, nor a proposal, nor have engagement/wedding rings during any part of our journey starting from K1, currently awaiting ROC (and still don't). Courthouse wedding after work in street clothes, greasy $6 burgers at a bar afterwards. Never had a later formal ceremony/reception either. Not a single raised eyebrow about any of it at any point. The full picture of a relationship of course is different for everyone but you definitely don't need to worry about a honeymoon, just focus on the big ticket items required for proving bonafide (as others have said).

    Ah, frick! Well in the bigger picture I really don't think you have anything to worry about. The offense is nothing alone that would affect the immigration journey, for something this minor they more likely care that you disclose it and your fiance is aware of what happened. I'd be willing to bet that arrest doesn't even show up on the background check they do based on how you described it. I genuinely think a well-written and detailed explanation will be okay. Have your fiance sign that letter as well which will showcase she is aware of it. USCIS does a lot to make people unhappy but I highly doubt they will deny your opportunity to pursue legal immigration for a document that can't be obtained. I also doubt it's the first time they've seen this type of situation.

    Have you read the details for obtaining Mexican police certificates here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Mexico.html (scroll down to the police certs tab) I believe this is typically for the immigrant to utilize (it's been a hot minute since I used the reciprocity pages) but these routes might help uncover documentation and/or uncover clean record docs for you as the USC too. The results at worst might be helpful to include with a detailed letter about the whole situation, if you want more proof that you've exhausted all means. Heck, maybe the docs you need might even be found. I'm sure you already know this, but no matter what, be fully truthful, even if you only submit a letter detailing your situation. On our immigration journey there were required documents (not criminal records related though) that we needed for a unique situation that we could not obtain for similar reasons (i.e. records not kept for more than a year) and we submitted our own letter detailing the steps we took to try to find the documents that we were never able to obtain. No one ever asked us anything about it after that. I hope this helps, but hopefully others have input too. Good luck, don't stress, telling the whole truth goes a long way when it comes to immigration.
