JoeF Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 The case is still visible to USCIS. Expungement does not limit them to see it. On the application, the case has to be mentioned.

nineballs Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 If I menction the case in application will h1b will be approved can you please let me know in detail As JoeF rightly said, it will be visible to USCIS and you should always say "Yes" because that's the truth. Irrespective of the chances of h1b approval, you cannot just misrepresent the facts. Never ever lie on your US immigration forms. It can put a permanent ban for you. BTW, I am not an expert. An experienced attorney should be able to answer this correctly.
JoeF Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 If I menction the case in application will h1b will be approved can you please let me know in detail If you don't mention it, the case is likely to get denied, and you may even get a permanent ban for hiding a material fact. You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have to be truthful. Don't even think of lying to the officer.
slakshmi515 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Posted November 14, 2012 Thanks, I will do that. If you don't mention it, the case is likely to get denied, and you may even get a permanent ban for hiding a material fact. You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have to be truthful. Don't even think of lying to the officer.
