Sharif Bishara Sirhan was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a vehicle without the owner's consent in Los Angeles County on January 11, 1967. A warrant for his arrest was issued by the Immigration and Naturalization Service citing that he had entered the country at New York on January 12, 1957, and was within the United States in violation of immigration laws.

Sirhan was also charged with murder in connection with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. A transcript of a hearing in the case shows that Sirhan's counsel requested a continuance to allow for further investigation into the defendant's mental health and possible hospitalization.

The court granted the continuance, but later reported that Sirhan was not mentally ill and ordered him to stand trial by jury. Sirhan was subsequently convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

A complaint for murder filed against Sirhan by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office stated that he was involved in a shooting incident on December 18, 1963. A statement from a witness claimed to have seen Sirhan with a gun at the Ambassador Hotel where Kennedy was shot.

The U.S. Department of Justice stated that Sharif Sirhan was an alien who had entered the United States without inspection and was being held for deportation. A passport application from Sirhan, which appears to be a forgery, was also included in the documents.

Sharif B. Salamah Ghattas Sirhan applied for an immigrant visa and alien registration on March 23, 1960, at the American Embassy in Amman, Jordan. He claimed to be exempt from exclusion under Section 15(a)(3) of the Act of September 11, 1957, and his application was approved by the Department of State.

Sirhan's personal information included his name, birthdate (June 26, 1933), marital status (married), occupation (accountant), and address. His family information listed his mother's name and address in Pasadena, California, and his brother's name but no address provided.

The immigration history section of the application stated that Sirhan claimed to be exempt from exclusion under Section 15(a)(3) of the Act of September 11, 1957, and his application was approved by the Department of State with case No. 10591. The language proficiency section listed Arabic, English as languages spoken, read, and written, but no proficiency level specified.

The documents also included various other reports, statements, and forms related to the case of Sharif Bishara Sirhan, including a police report from the Pasadena Police Department stating that Sirhan was involved in a shooting incident on December 18, 1963.
