I'll just add that in addition to any background checks and police records, the applicant takes an oath to be completely truthful to the US government, be it on an application form or in an interview. In other words, just because the assault case was dropped doesn't mean that the OP doesn't have to disclose the arrest.

Curious - what makes you think that these things are an advantage/benefit to you in the eyes of USCIS?

[QUOTE=BigTroubleinLittleChina
Some things that may benefit us are,

My fiance is an upstanding citizen, wealthy and highly educated

I'm highly skilled, highly employable and carry a degree.

Even in my overstaying status, I belong to a political group and participate in social affairs.

I'm also a member of the church and volunteer for various charities.[/QUOTE]

BigTroubleinLittleChina

An acquaintance went on a similar route to the one I wish to take.
His explanation of experience, was they were interested in their community activities, his wives financial standing and his general presence in America.

I.e: Is he at all a benefit to the Country, Skilled, Speaky the Engrish?

I don't have the the gift of precognition, so I can't foresee what questions may arise. I'm willing to answer them all without a moments hesitation, but in all fairness, my honesty may work against us.

Given most people placed in such position where by they can judge the outcome of a persons life, I'm supposing it's down to the day.

BigTroubleinLittleChina

Thank you again.

Presidents take oaths, then break them.
Everything in moderation.

BigTroubleinLittleChina

Another good point.

That's all I wanted, some good information,
not to berated by a group of supposed
law abiding citizens who do everything by the book.

That book after all, isn't so righteous.

Just Jenney

Oh, well I guess that makes it ok, then.

Then maybe you should stop announcing your plans to lie to immigration officials on a public newsgroup that they're known to read from time to time...

Hey, you don't have to convince us that you don't have a problem breaking the law. Your history does that all by itself.

Jenney, it appears to like to talk a lot, adding your two cents in where it's not wanted.

This may or may not be true but ... you *DID* put a very important, private and huge chunk of your life out & up on a public board - an open forum, for people practically all over the world to see and then, asked for suggestions and in my opinion, commentary.

You might not like the comments you get but you can't expect all of them to be wrapped up in a neat & tidy box with a bow on top; or that they'll be pleasingly plump to you or not without disapproval even.

Sounds like you need a really really great Emigration attorney, a good accountant plus maybe start praying alot, think your going to need them all.
Good luck Frank R.

I've been participating in online forums for many years, i'm perfectly aware of the nature of what I posted and that it may or may not be met with friendly compassion. After all, this is a world of conflicting opinions.

That doesn't imply I have to tolerate it.

Simply put:

I couldn't have easily gone home for fear of being wrongfully prosecuted for a crime I couldn't necessarily prove I didn't commit. That much was evident from an early stage.

I settled down, put the past behind me and put the pieces back together, even through my supposed lawlessness it wasn't exactly easy, but it's not easy to break my spirit either, regardless of boundaries, laws and the problems arising from over staying.

And in that I'm evidently a bi-product of a flawed judicial system as these choices came about from the errors of others, not my own.

BigTroubleinLittleChina

I'll be looking for one as early as next week.

Cheers.

Ah, none of this is your fault. Poor you. Mandela and Robben Island
pale in comparison.

Oh the humanity!
