Arrested or Convicted? Traffic Petty Misdemeanor DS-160 H1b Stamping


Recommended Posts

I have two traffic tickets for which says

Convicted
Convicted of a Petty Misdemeanor
 
Convicted
Conviction deemed a Petty Misdemeanor pursuant to Minn. R. Crim. P 23.02
 

CASE 1:

One for Speeding at 85 in 65 zone. offense was considered petty and convicted as petty Misdemeanor and i was 

fined $221  [No court appearance, court no arrest]

 

CASE 2:

Second was for driving with a cancelled license. I was not aware that my licence was cancelled and told the same when the cop pulled me over.

He gave me a Ticket which said Misdemeanor and said it would be automatically cancelled if it was a Mistake. In MN people need to go for a status check

even though the license has a different expiration date. I forgot about the status check . They probably send me a notice to my old

address and i missed that because i was not staying there any more. I paid a

 fine of $279  [No court appearance, court no arrest]

 

Now my Question is

Should i fill in these details in the DS-160 where it says  .

"Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime , even though subject of pardon, amnesty or similar action ?"

Also would These Tickets cause any issue with my H1B stamping ? 

 

 

Please Help ..

Petty misdemeanor in MN is not a crime but Misdemeanor is. All crime related charges , arrests and convictions should be disclosed on ds-160. Your best bet would be to get your case reviewed by competent immigration attorneys. 

You do not want to make a third mistake by listening to someone on forum in such critical matters.
