Hi,
I had a fight with my wife in 2001 and I slapped her, but before that there were lots of shouting. Because of this one of the neighbours called 911 and I was taken to police station. Where they took my fingerprints and photograph. My wife did not put restraining order and I was released. I was not put in a cell or jail. And I was asked to appear in a county court.
The judge fined me $150 and asked to meet a marriage counselar. Which I did and submitted a letter in the court. They told me that if there will be no other complain related to same type for one year my records will be void ( or deleted, I am not sure). Since then there had been no such incidence.
Now it's time to file for I485, and I am not sure how this would impact my case. And what should I answer for question " Have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic vilation"
Because I was fined, I think I should answer "Yes", if I do that then it will be disclosed in my office. And what will happen if I answer "No"?
I'll Appreciate if anyone could send an advise.
Thanks in advance
