venkiis Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hello, I was looking forward to join a unversity and pursure my education. I was working on h1 and before it expired i had initiated my F1. It has been a month since my F1 was filed, i was simply reviewing my I539 docs and spotted a mistake that my lawyer missed. Can i mail to USCIS specifying this mistake and help myself. I am married, basically i was arrested for a domestic arguement around 2 years baclk. There were no charges, nothing except i was asked to attend some counselling sessions, which i did and the case was dismissed. I have proof of dismissal letter with me, i did mention this to my lawyer but apparently he forgot to include this and also select NO for the question which says whether i had been arrested in usa for any reason. Now i am quite scared, can this be a reason for deportation. Since there is no decision on F1, can i be proactive and update uscis with letter and proof and also accepting this mistake. Please advise? Link to comment

Please advise? I believe you can update USCIS by sending relevant documents. Talk to a good immigration attorney. Link to comment
bhalc Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 When employer does wrong, one can file complaint with WH4/DOL. But if immigration lawyer makes unacceptable mistake, what to do? Link to comment
