隱瞞事實可導致申請被拒

It is important to answer all questions on USCIS applications truthfully. For example, it is imperative that any arrests are disclosed, however trivial they may seem. Specifically the I-485 petition asks: Have you ever, in or outside the United States: 1. knowingly committed any crime of moral turpitude or a drug-related offense for which you have not been arrested? 2. been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic violations? 3. been the beneficiary of a pardon, amnesty, rehabilitation decree, other act of clemency or similar action? 4. exercised diplomatic immunity to void prosecution for criminal offense in the United States? Even if the arrest has been expunged and you do not believe that any record of it exists, you must answer “yes” to the question. Although a case may be expunged or erased for other purposes, a record that you have been arrested ALWAYS EXISTS. Once your fingerprints are in the system, there is no way to erase them, and USCIS will discover the arrest. The USCIS points out that if the applicant knowingly or willfully falsifies or conceals a material fact or s a false document with the application, the USCIS will deny the sought benefit and may deny any other immigration benefit. Additionally the applicant will face severe penalties provided by law and may be subject to criminal prosecution. Because of the high stakes involved, it is essential that all questions are answered truthfully and accurately. If you are unsure whether or not the question is an important one, please ask your attorney for advice. 在申請I-485時，表格上有問到您是否被捕過，控訴或入獄。曾經遊過這些記錄的人一定要小心及誠實的回答。不要以為這些記錄已經久遠，或是被法院消案就可以不回答。因為曾經存在的事實是不會因為法院的消案也一並消失。有很多人因為對此的誤解而遭到I-485的否決。所以大家不要因此而因小失大。在此提一下被捕的定義是曾被帶到警察局做記錄(筆錄或指紋) 。如果隻是開車被警察攔下來是不算的。但是若是不服從警察而被帶到警察局做筆錄或指紋則算) 。 本文由範毅禹律師事務所提供 本律師事務所精辦各類勞工應聘及專業移民申請 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，勞工卡，綠卡等申請)。所有申請由多位美籍律師及擁有15年經驗的範毅禹律師親自處理，我所並特設中英移民網站。內有最新移民新聞資訊及由律師主持的移民問答集，歡迎讀者流覽查詢。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
