Two Questions-Canadian Husband
Hi all-
My first question is mostly a request. Anyone who has gone through the interview in Montreal if you could please share your experience, I would greatly appreciate it, including how much you had to pay for fees while there, to give me an idea of what to expect. Also, my husband has a record in Canada, most of witch is minor stuff, but he does have one major thing that he is trying to get pardoned. If he does get the major record pardoned does he still have to reveal this at the interview? There are rather extenuating circumstances behind the issue and being that Canadian law and US law are so different in this particular matter, we are wondering if he will be denied if it is revealed. (Actually he is more concerned than I am.) In a nut shell his sister accused him of sexual misconduct and according to my husband in Canada weather you are convicted of the crime or not (he was not) it stays on your record regardless, and there is plenty of proof since then that his sister is just not all there and was making up a story to get herself out of a perdicament. This occoured when he was 18 and he is now 35 and has no record since. As I am not very versed in Canadian law, any input on this would be helpful. Thanks, TK |

Whether or not he was found guilty or no guilty, the charge occurred after his 18th birthday and even if before, has to be disclosed to the US Consulate on the approximate paperwork. Full court records need to be obtained and submitted at the time of the interview. The crime he was charged with is a very serious one and is one that would be considered one of moral turpitude and is cause for denial of all visas to emigrate to the US. In fact it may cause even more of a problem if he entered the US at any time without disclosing this fact as persons with a criminal history must disclose all criminal charges before entry and most often will be denied entry without a formal tourist visa. The same advice pertains to his other criminal charges regardless of how minor you or he think they are. Whatever you do he should not lie about anything in his past regardless when, where, how, or why these charges were filed against him. You are correct in taking this very seriously and he is foolish to think it is nothing. Even if the Canadian government pardons him, the charges must be disclosed and full disclosure of all court records provided to the US Consulate. Rete Thanks, TK |
