Hi there, I've posted here a few times previously, regarding the same topic, and I just had another question I wanted to swing by you guys. Background: I am a Canadian citizen living in the US on a green card, my wife is a US citizen. Same-sex marriage. My wife got a DUI back in 2010, and her...

No for sure, I don't ever want to misrepresent anything. I did the US immigration process all on my own, so I have confidence I can complete everything thoroughly and accurately without issue. I know waiting until next August is our only option, I'm just so tired of waiting, we both hate living...

If we requested a background check from the FBI just for curiosity reasons to see if her record shows up as clean or not, would that be allowed? Or do the records come back sealed strictly for the CIC?

They never asked her about anything to do with her DUI either time. Both times were via air. The first time she was travelling alone as well, with no return ticket booked because we didn't know when she'd be going back, turns out we just went back together. They asked her when she would be...

That's the part I don't understand fully, because she has been to Canada to visit, she was there for 3 months the first time. We just went up there back in March. If she was inadmissible, wouldn't they have rejected her? Could this mean she's really not inadmissible?

She has been to Canada twice though, once with me, and once when she came to meet me. She didn't apply for anything or have any issue with customs. She was charged as a juvenile offender, though. So her record is sort of expunged, maybe they couldn't see it? But she was 18 when she got it, thus...

Hi there, I've posted here before, just had a question regarding Rehabilitation. I misread my wife's court documents, where I thought it had said she had completed everything in August 2010, which would make it over 5 years. However, that was just for her court-appointed AA/mandatory drug...

How much did you pay for your law firms if you don't mind me asking? I did the US immigration all by myself, successfully, without lawyers so I was hoping to do it again, but this criminal inadmissibility just seems to make everything more difficult. We just don't want to live in the US...

Yeah we're not anywhere near a border so that probably isn't possible. So even if we were to go to Canada and visit and decide that we wanted to do the immigration process from there, rehab can only be done for outland applications and not inland applications, correct? If we do it outland...

2009 but August 2010 was was all the probation and everything was completed according to the paperwork we got from the courthouse.

We would physically go to Canada beforehand, because we were going to go to visit anyways and didn't know if we'd end up wanting to stay and just do it that way. She has been to Canada twice, once with me and once without, and didn't have any issues. Does that still mean she's inadmissible?

Anyone?

Hey guys, I was reading up on a few threads and I just wanted to clarify in case that information was old... Can you submit your outland PR application OR inland application with your rehabilitation application at the same time? My wife is eligible for rehabilitation in August of this year...

Yeah, you're right. I didn't realize they would return the fees though, so that's a relief.

Sending away for the FBI clearence right now is an option but then I'd have to wait 2+ months and I can't even apply for Rehabilliation yet, let alone PR. So I would end up having to deal with that twice, which may not be the best use of my time. Also I read somewhere that even if it didn't...

I'd have to get my wife to somehow access all the stuff to do with her case to get the exact dates on when everything was completed. Would we jysr contact the police department for all those files?? The lawyer made it seem like her being 18 and charged as a Youthful Offender would be a...

Whoop, nevermind. He sent me a contract, and it says CAD 750, so I guess that really is the amount. I can't afford to hire a lawyer, and I know I can do it on my own if I just could get a yes or no answer for Rehabilitation. Sigh, so frustrating.

Oh okay, gotcha, thank you.

Well he didn't specifty, an assesment in my mind is like a small test to see what direction you need to go, similiar to the free one they offer on the website but more specified for criminal inadmissibility. I couldn't imagine that costing $750.00 dollars... but I have no experience with...

Hi there, I just spoke with one of the lawyers from this website via the phone to discuss my wife's inadmissibility, and he said he would be sending me an email with more information, and to start with doing an assesment for $7.50 unless he meant $750.00??? to determine my wife's...
