I am a legal resident here for the last 2 years with a green card eligible to file for my citizenship in a few months (my wife is a USC).
6 years ago, while living abroad in my home country, after I just turned 18, I was convicted of stealing from my employer and paid a fine of several hundred dollars. Have never had any other arrests/trouble before or after this foolish mistake. At my interivew applying for my I-130, the first immigration officer said this was not a problem and that I was approved. Her supervisor then decided I required a waiver as it was a CIMT. I was granted the waiver several months later and moved here (had never been to the country before) over two years ago.
Will this make me ineligble for citizenship? Or is it depedent upon the Immigration officer in the interview? Anyone had a similar experience? Thank you so much for your assistance.
