Hello, so I have pretty much everything in order and am getting ready to submit my application. 14 years ago I was convicted of a misdemeanor possession charge while crossing the border into Montana, given a fine and some paperwork and was returned to canada. I paid the fine but over the years the paperwork was unfortunately stolen by a crazy ex girlfriend. I remember there was a small yellow peice of paper outlining my charge and stating the amount of the fine.
I assume that yellow peice of paper would be what I need to submit with my application. How would I go about getting a copy of this? Would I even need it? I've been searching for answers but have so far turned up empty on this subject.
You are wrong. They are going to 100% ask for court documents.
"They should have it" has nothing to do with waivers under this administration. Do not file the waiver unless you are confident you can get documentation in a short time.
They will ask you to provide it and only give you 87 days. No documents, case will be closed. $1100 lost.
Under other administrations, yes.
I have posted about this regarding pardons. We provide fingerprints, the pardon, and even old copies of the record as is. They return with "privacy act request" and a request for sometimes transcripts. This DESPITE some of these clients doing 3-5 waivers already. They deliberately ask for more documents DESPITE the fact it will provide no more clarity.
With this administration, you have to predict what they will want, and provide it upfront, BEFORE there is a deadline. Even a document saying "we cannot provide the documents" is fine.
Once these guys are gone, yes, common sense might once again be used. But this advice shows a shocking unawareness of how Homeland Security is handling waivers TODAY.
If you read through the forum a bit more, you will see this has been posted about quite a bit.
You shouldn't need to include it as they probably already have your file. It might be best to do a criminal record check just in case. Have you tried this Montana gov site? https://app.mt.gov/choprs/
