Hello. I'm currently in the process of filing my I-485. I'm currently in the states and preparing to file my adjustment of status with my wife (U.S Citizen). I have an issue with the criminal background evidence. Unfortunately my time in the states is limited to another 3 weeks and i may not have an official/court certified document of my conviction. With the limited time frame i'm working i may not be able to obtain a original/court certified copy in time for the filing (unless found at home). My conviction was for assault without intent and was committed when i was under 18, i was admitted to the local youth offending I have managed to obtain an attorney letter stating the offense and the court hearing and i have also managed to obtain a record from the youth offending team stating the completion of my charges (community service)
I'm guessing this will effect my application but how much?
If i cannot get hold of a court certified copy or the original i'm thinking about writing a cover letter explaining the case and that i will be able to obtain court soon. I'm also thinking with the biometrics fingerprinting they can also find the conviction there?
