I was FP. what lower offense did u plead guilt to? yes it is because of FP it will get a hit at POE. contact me through email which is listed in my profile.

Hi How was your experience with VO and POE?

Looks like even after DV classes you are convicted. In CA after one year u can expunge means your case will appear dismissed but legally u were convicted hence immigration would see the conviction. Records are not purged for expungement in CA. DV some times is considered not admissible if the maximum sentence exceeds more than a year.

did not plead guilty, did not go court my lawyer took care of everything, case dismissed after class. 1. only the case details, there was no conviction. 2. told about the issue did not go in detail.. gave court disposition and immi memo letter. 3.Yes court disposition and immi letter 4.no way to avoid delay.

1. Can I travel to India now? are there any consequences while stamping to be prepared of? Ans:Get your case dismissed and then travel outside. 2. What documents are required while travelling and going to stamping? regarding the case Ans: Take certified court disposition docs and a Immigration lawyer Memo letter stating you are not inadmissible for this problem. 3. During entry any problems to face with Immigration Officers? Ans:Yes your arrest will pop up in the Port of entry and you will be in secondary inspection asked about this incident. Be prepared to answer the correct answer, the immigration attorney will help u in this. 4. Does this have any affect on green card? Ans: Yes it will and you will be asked about this incident. You mention about this incident in the GC form as well as in H1-B DS160 interview form. You should truthfully mention about this. if you don't your visa extension or GC will be rejected on the spot.

So are you travelling? Is this an issue for legal people too?

Hi- Did ou go for stamping? Can you contact my email its in my profile? I will send you a private message. Please be in touch.

Hi Was your wife fingerprinted at the station when arrested? Or was she fingerprinted anytime during the process of conviction? Did the VO ask about the arrest? Did you give the court papers to the consulate? Was there a delay in getting visa stamped?

your case did not appear to VO or POE because you were not fingerprinted when arrested.. all cases are not the same.. Congrats for getting the visa.. actually you took pre trial diversion classes to get case dismissed.. which is not a conviction for immigration..

looks like thos who are legal aliens with visa/gc need to worry before traveling outside with an arrest record and no conviction.

i don't think you need to disclose this in DS160.

good luck with your case.. get it dismissed.

Ok case was downgraded and were you convicted for township ordinance? Did you do a live scan ? What did your court documents say? When are u going for visa stamping? Where u fingerprinted in the police station all 10 fingers during booking and citation?

I don't think petty offense exception applies here.. it is saying even if the alien is arrested and not even charged and there is sufficient evidence in the police report, the alien is deemed deportable/removable. it even applies to DUI charges/conviction.

The new law for DHS is written in a way that any legal or illegal aliens with a criminal record let it be past few years back or new which has no outcome or case dismissed/convicted/ charges reduced or convicted these cases will be closely looked upon and may be denied entry/ visas/ GC/citizenship. Immigration officials have got lot of power to deny entry/visa and for GC holders from this new order. Immigration lawyers will be able to tell more or comment on it. Reality is be prepared for the worst in coming days. Don't travel outside US

single CIMT has petty offense exception. Hence cannot be denied entry. Th order is written in such a way that if any hit in the POE or Visa interview the applicant will have tough time to get a Visa or entry at POE. I hope deportation will not be a priority for legal aliens, but the wordings don't say legal or illegal. So it applies to all aliens regardless.

You may get a RFE and you will need to disclose your court documents with the outcome. Shoplifiting is a CIMT and your conviction was for disturbing the peace which is not a CIMT. hence you are safe I guess. Get a recommendation from the immigration lawyer.

You could be denied entry if you travel outside the US, but not removed if in the US. The CBP officers have discretionary powers, they can deny you entry. Discuss with an Immigration attorney if you are intending to travel with a criminal record. You can contact me through my personal email.. its in my profile.

You are Wrong. This applies to legal illegal aliens in US who has comitted, convicted or arrested or charged with ANY criminal offense includes DUI , shoplifting or Soliciting prostitution or any misdemeanor or felony arrest. First deportation is for illegal aliens then 2nd priority are legal aliens in visas.

Can a dismissed charge 2 years back related to 647b CA soliciting prostitution make the alien deportedbased onnew law? New executive actions tell us just a arrest charge can make an alien deported

If your case is dismissed without conviction or probation then you will be fine. This is scary because it says even if charged the person is removable or deported..

But still you may be asked about this case or incident . Be prepared with the outcome of your case and disposition from court.

yes u will get.. there may be RFE if case not resolved before extension.

Consult immigration attorney. USCIS looks for the case for which you were arrsted. later u can say convicted for disturbing peace.

When u got arrested where u fingerprinted at the station? Did u expunge ur arrest beforr traveling outside?
