Update My extension has been approved Thank you all

Hello, I have been charged with dui only and with.17 bac I have seen yesterday case status as Response received formy case. I have applied for my extension along with H4 EAD extension for my wife. strangely EAD status changed today to Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production I am wondering how come this could be the case.. mine is still rfe response received

I have received a letter from court today and The judge wrote below “Court can not make a finding as requested by defendant. Sentence is reflected in minute order on date of sentence.” basically I got nothing from court to support my RFE. I have asked my attorney to respond to RFE with non-certified copy of completion certificate which I received from Sheriffs dept. I will update once I get any news with my extension. May be couple of weeks

Thanks, yes thats a valid point and I discussed it with my attorney. I got a completion certificate from Sheriffs dept who runs the alternate sentencing program.However its not certified and they refuse to certify it. They said its there standard document format and they cant certify it. Note: you dont get this certificate automaticallyonce you finish the program. you need to got to sheriffs office and fill a form and then after 48 hrs they can provide you the document. When I discussed this with my immigration attoreney, he is suggesting to get a certifed document from court which can contemplate that my sentence was completed and satisfied by alternate sentencing on weekends. The confusion is my disposition letter says 17 days sentence and my completion certifcate says 4 days because judge gave me 13 days credits. I did 4 days of community service in two weekends. If court refuse to provide the requested document in that case we plan to respond with following documents which I have currently - Sentence completion doc from Sherrifs dept. - A letter of explanation of my sentence from my attorney who represented my case. Basically how 17 days is equivalent to the 4 days of community service - 3 monts pay- stubs during time-frame when my sentence happened.

The problem is still not resolved yet. I am still struggling to get a certified document from court to contemplate that my 17 day sentence has been satisfied and completed through 8 days of 8 hr public service on weekend. The irony is the same information is mentioned in Certified Court Disposition letter but its not very evident/easy to understand and USCIS is seeking the certified info for the same. As sugeested by court clerk I have written an application to The Judge to obtain a court letter.it's been more than a week no update from court. Others on same boat Only Certified copy is acceptable by USCIS.please note ur final court dispostion is not certified.

I post here .. for benifits of others ... sorry I cant help if u r confused

Sorry for late update .. I got details today from my lawyer "The second RFE notes that the court disposition indicates that you served 17 days in jail, and I wanted to check and confirm that this is the case. If so, could you confirm if you were on a paid leave of absence from the company during that period? If yes please provide LOA authorization document. If not, kindly provide the certified copy of completion of alternate sentencing document" Not sure where I will get that document and I never went to jail ..

My attorney has responded to RFE last week and Today my case status shows another RFE . waiting for the RFE details ..

For Certified document you have to go to court and they will charge $25 and give you a certified packet. Also ask for arrest record .. court will give you court copy of arrest record and you have to get it certified by the police agency. police do not provide the arrest reports to defendant .. thats what happened with me. also get at least 5 copies from court because you need to send the original certified packet which has court seal. Hope it helps

Looks like the moderator deleted the link I have posted ... something on 24 oct 2017 from USCIS regarding alcohol related incidents. it says extension will be denied.. anyone recently got extension approval with dui ?

Hello friends, I got a DUI conviction in 2017 (California) and completed all the required work. My employer filed for an extension in March and got an RFE . I have provided all the DUI documents to my lawyer when filing for the extension. I am FTE since 2014 with same employer and 6 years completed I found link talking about new law , is it true that with DUI extensions are getting denied? RFE "USCIS is requesting a certified copy of the arrest report, as well as a certified copy of the final court disposition for the case. The court disposition should be obtained from the court where the actual hearing took place, and certified copies must include a court seal stamp. If you were granted diversion, provide court records which identify the charges and whether you plead guilty to the charge or admitted guilt prior to the diversion being granted." Any insight would be appreciated.
