Here’s the deal. In the UK a caution is a guilty plea where you skip court and accept any punishment or fine. It’s not like in the US where you might get a warning from a cop instead of a full ticket. She is guilty and convicted of the offence.  
 

Some offences are “stepped down” or get hidden from your record after a certain period of time. When applying for a job, as an example, the potential employer would not see anything that had been hidden like cautions or juvenile offences that may have been expunged. 
 

“No LIVE Trace” means there are convictions that have expired, been stepped down, or otherwise hidden. Someone with zero convictions gets a certificate that says ”No Trace”. US immigration wants to see EVERYTHING she has ever been charged with. People with ”No Live Trace” bring a Subject Access Report along with the regular police certificate to their interviews.

 

She needs to order the SAR and send it by courier or upload (however they instructed). Then they will evaluate if the marijuana conviction prohibits her from admission to the US. If not, they will issue the visa.

That's incorrect dear, he was not convicted, nor was he guilty. He was taken in to the station then let go an hour later with a warning. No arrest, no conviction. So that is most certainly incorrect.

It wasn't meant to be condescending.  I didn't mean the action leading to the caution, only to changing a form that had been submitted.    Hope this doesn't sound that way either, but the ACRO is not in charge of US immigration requirements and policies.  You need to follow the instructions of the Embassy and submit what they requested so they can move forward with processing your visa application.  

Thank you  Understood

But that was what ACRO advised when we spoke to them. we'd really like to speak to the embassy but the UK InfoUnit keeps misunderstanding the question. We already approved the 6 month medical and random tests because we had a separate issue which was triggered from that but the embassy is aware of that situation as well. We are not looking to undo the past (that sounded a bit condescending no offense) just looking for information as the InfoUnit is misunderstanding our question. 

Hey guys, have a question...we had attended the Embassy interview, and with our ACRO certificate, which listed No Live Trace. The officer asked us about the offence (my fiance's) of which he explained to her. She then asked us for a Subject Access Report and advised us how to obtain it, by contacted ACRO. 

i called 212-620-3418 and got a real person. I chose that I didn't know my reciept number helped me find someone faster

I just called the California |Service Center yesterday the 800 number on the NOA1 they were very helpful. I find everyone on here tells you NOT TO CALL until its outside the frame but CALL THEM they are helpful! They will give you info and there is a seperate number for outside limit cases 

We have applied together from inside the UK (Essex) we have lived together for a few years as I’ve been on a work visa. We are still in the beginning stages but so far so good where that’s concerned. Not much guidance but a little assurance maybe  

It’s from California... which makes me worry more since again later filers are already further along

An alternate option is a quick marriage in Gibraltar and then filing an I-130 directly with the USCIS London office: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/united-kingdom-uscis-london-field-office "Form I-130, Petition for an Alien Relative" tab

We’ve already paid for rapid visas services and gotten this far. Wouldn’t that change everything?

Hello all! I posted on a separate thread as well but hoping you fine lovelies can share some experience and light my way. 

We are from the UK (well my fiance is) and we received NOA1 on April 19th. I have been looking all over this site and people from the UK that filed after us have received NOA2's already. I'm starting to get concerned?? 

I was advised by Rapid Visa (which is who we used to help assist) that it went to the California service center, however I tried to inquire with them but this late at night it's their international staff I believe so she didn't have much information to provide me. 

If anyone can assist at all? We're very anxious to go home (well home for me, as I'm in the UK on a Tier 2 Work visa, and hoping that it doesn't expire before we get approved to go)

Thanks in advance everyone!!

HI everyone! New Here, but hoping someone can give me some answers on this thread. 

I have gotten my NOA1 Dated April 19th but have not received an NOA2 yet. I'm getting a little concerned as I see all over people from the same country (United Kingdom in our case) that filed after and have received  theirs. 

Anyone that can give some advise or shed some light into this process for me I would appreciate it. Fingers crossed I hear something soon!!!
