DS-260 crime sections - Verdict Appeal

I have 2 questions which I hope you can be able to answer please! Maybe this one should be in the legal section, I don't know, otherwise a moderator can move it there, thanks!

I have not got selected, and this is mostly a thing I should worry about if I do of course, but I still would like to ask you folks.

On the Travel State Gov site, it tells us the following:

( Selected entrants are encouraged to complete the online DS-260 application immediately to schedule an interview appointment at the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. )



I have an ongoing appeal in the court after I got sentenced to 4 moths in prison, last year. It is dated 4th of June, I will get the whole sentence somewhere between 18th and June the 20th. Will there be a problem if I would wait till then to fill in the DS-260 form? I am asking because I don’t know yet if I will be acquitted in some of the offenses/violations, and thereof don’t know what to put in the crime section of the DS-260 form.

I live in Sweden.

Second question, do you think it would be a problem with this sentence if I would win? Everyone tells me my sentence will get reduced since it was my first crimes, I am indicted of 4 crimes, not so serious really, but still…

I’ve heard that if it is under 6 months, there is usually not a problem, but that can also depend on how long time ago it was or so?

Best regards!
