Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / November 2005K1 visa and driving convictions on Police cert
Hi, I'm new here, and have tracked this site down from VisaJourney, and wondered if any of you guys and gals can offer any advice. Its a bit long winded...but has me somewhat worried, though it might be un-necessary, I hope! A couple weeks ago I applied for my UK police check with West Midlands Police. I have a couple of queries if anyone can help, I've searched the forum for the past hour or so looking for similar instances... 1, I have a conviction at a Magistrates Court for speeding, as I was going a wee bit fast, so chose to attend court. This tallied up to 11 points on my licence in 1998. Then in 2001, I was the innocent party when another individual drove into me, we swapped details and agreed everything was fine, then months later receive note that the other party was taking me to the county court for damages. I chose not to attend - as I was confident....then I was instructed to pay a about £2000, of which I paid some, then 'moved house'.! SO didnt pay anymore and heard nothing more - although I was blacklisted for being in debt. I was a good lad for while then in 2003 was found guilty of driving with faulty light and no tax/mot. I sent my plea of guilty in to the courts and receied a subsequent band of 6 months. My question is will any of theses appear on my police record check? If so what will I have to do, if anything? 2, When applying for the subject access form, I noted my address as with my parents - which has been my registered address for 20+ years, although, they informed the courts (due to debt) once I'd left home. Which I did for a while earlierthis year. I have never registered another address. The reason I ask this question is I contacted the tax office a week or so ago about an old cheque that I wanted to cash, but they told me I was no longer on the electoral roll at this address anymore. Although I've now informed the tax office that this is still my address until my visa arrives. Will this affect embassy /police checks do you think? Thanks so much for any advice Richi.. ps great site, I'll be sure to stick around! Hmmm, interesting list there. I'm not 100% or an expert BUT to me driving convictions and a crash shouldn't effect whether your allowed to apply to stay in the US. Anyone can be in a crash, be it your fault ot not but it doesn't really put you in a risk category accept for car insurance. However the missing court and not paying the damages be it if you were guilty or not.............that sticks out. Maybe if you told the court you would not attend due to the agreement rather than (what appears to me) just not showing up then you'd be in a better position. But all this is just my opinion and not gospel. I'm sure others will be able to help you out. I wish you success in your app > Hmmm, interesting list there. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > able to help you out. > I wish you success in your app The missing payment so to speak was in a civil county court and according the criminal records beareau will not appear on my subect access cert. > The missing payment so to speak was in a civil county court and > according the criminal records beareau will not appear on my subect > access cert. Have you actually recieved your Police Report yet ? It all depends what is on that report the rest is Irreverent. Personally I think your be fine but if three crimes are on your record and their seems to be a pattern then the embassy might get a bit twitchy. I’m really surprised the court hasn’t chased you on paying your fines… They did me …. > Have you actually recieved your Police Report yet ?

I had an offence of driving without a licence and insurance ... Went to Magistrates and was given a 6 point endorsement and fine. Speaking to the local Police Station about this offence they said it would show on my record... Three weeks later when I recieved my record ....... NOTHING , Clean..... However, I still declared it to the embassy just incase as I know they work closely with scotland yard. > I had an offence of driving without a licence and insurance ...

Thanks for the reply, as it was a civil matter , they followed it up, then nothing came of it. I was going thru a 'tough' time and for one reason or another, chose not to pay it. As i said, hopefully being a 'non' criminal offence I'll be fine. With re to your offence, similar to mine at the Miagistrates court, thanks for that, its very helpful to think that you were in a very similar position. Speaking to 'NACRO' and the criminal records beareau, they told me yesterday that the embassy DOESNT follow up to check if an invidiual is speaking the truth about a clean ccertificate. 3 individuals told me that yesterday, which I do find hard to believe. Not that I wouldnt be forthconming, but its still odd. > Thanks for the reply, as it was a civil matter , they followed it up, > then nothing came of it.

It all depends mate. Generally the embassy doesnt check but if there is a need they can. I have it on good grounds that the Embassy works very closely with Scotland Yard and my honest advice is dont chance anything ..... Be straight up with them, they respect it more. > It all depends mate.

So you dont think I'll need to file an I601 in this instance? > Cheers mate, have every intention of doing so and wouldnt take > anything to chance. So you dont think I'll need to file an I601 in > this instance? from what your saying doubt it... Check the official regulations on the USCIS website. |
