FBI Record Issues! Record is NOT updated!!!

[aakash28]

Dear All,

I just recieved my FBI record after 8 weeks. I had a detention record with US Immigration when i was in USA. The record shows in the report:

"ARRESTED OR RECEIVED 2003/10/31
AGENCY - USINS DIST OFFICE DALLAS (TXINSDL00)
AGENCY CASE - 12998620
CHARGE 1-INA 237 (A) (1) (C) (I) - NONIMMIGRANT VIOLATOR OF STATUS"
RECORD UPDATE 2010/07/01"

Now i have mentioned about this with my initial application to CIO. However, after i was being held in detention for 3 hours, i was let go and asked to show up on court date in which i had presented all the evidences to the court. The proceeding was terminated as there was no fault from my part. I just couldn't provide the officers with evidence at the time they raided my apartment.

I have the original court order with me that shows that the case was terminated. After that incident i stayed in USA for another 4 years and completed both my Bachelors and Masters from there.

Now, in 2007, i applied for US visitor visa and i was denied the visa on the ground that i was not forthcoming with the VO about my past history in USA. I really did not have time then to dig through the reason and challenge the decision as i got very busy with other part of my life (finding jobs and getting settled in my home country after coming back 9 years later).

But now, when i see this in the report, it appears that the record is not updated with the final decision of the court. It simply says that i was arrested. But doesnt say that i was not guilty after the hearing. Now it might be he reason why i was denied visa to US 3 years back.

Now my question is that, is it normal for FBI report to not have the final outcome of a case? Because it says at the bottom that "RECORD UPDATE 2010/07/01" - probably stating that it has no update on this icase after my arrest.

I have provided my court copy to CIO and also mentioned that i was denied visa on ground of "not being forthcoming". I hope CIO takes it easy..

But how i can work out this FBI record.? Is it normal or it should have shown the final outcome as well!!

please help as i must act on this. Its like a dark spot on my life..that i must rinse before moving forward.


Thanks..

hi,
I don't think the case will have so much negative impact for your present application except drawing the attention of VO on your FBI Report. However, it would be wise if you write a letter of clarification as you have mention here and send it together with the FBI Reprt.

pls it would be better than the best to take the advise of some seniors before sending your FBI Clearance...

Al the very best of luck to you..

Thanks Hiprashant! I will try to contact FBI to see if we can update the record. I am also planning to contact USINS Dallas.

Lets see. But its really dangerous to have incomplete record.
