Arrest record , applying for f1 visa
- Thread starter Raisa
- Start date
My husband and me had an arguement while i was cooking. At one point i went to other room while i was holding kitchen knife and closed the door. My husband got afraid and called police. They arrested me eventhough we expianed that there was never a threat and i was in middle of cooking .thats why the knife was with me. But they charged me anyway. Eventually the charges were dismissed. But now I am trying to get into school. But i think this arrest record can interfere with my visa chances. Can you please tell me what can happen? What can I do to prevent consequences
Your incident is really bad, if this incident raised by your neighbours you can tell them they mistaken, but it raised by your husband, any way not all court cases will lead to barring the visa, Just consult murthy attorney for safe side and carry all your court documents( assuming you are going to embassy), if you are not going and just applying chnage of status its not abig deal. You can do it easily.

I would apply if I were you. If the charges resulted in a dismissal, I would think it would not be an issue.
