Hi all,
I got in the US in Utah in January 2009 and married my wife, she has 2 children and started to fill a citizenship application. I got my greencard in september 11, 2009 (the date was bad enough) and in november 6, I got arrested for class B - misdemeanor child abuse (I smacked her daughter because she was not behaving well) and because of a misunderstanding, my wife called the police and I got arrested, later, I pleaded guilty and with the help of the attorney got rid of any charges against me but it is written Class B - Misdemeanor on my record.
Now, everything is over as well as the probation, I live happily with my wife and her 2 children and I am working.
I just received a letter to fill the I-751 and I am lost, I think I have until the expiration of the greencard to fill it (september 11, 2011) right ?
After all the court stuff were over, I don't think the immigration knows about it but there is a record on my social security number.
But I don't know if
1. I should write the name of the children on the I-751, they are the children of my wife, not mine
2. I should write about the misdemeanor since it happened in the US (is it only outside of the US?)
3. Will it prevent me from getting citizenship?
4. I don't declare the misdemeanor, what could happen?
5. If go back in my country then to the US, will I have problems ?
6. It is talking about a $505 fee +85 of biometric but I already did my biometrics a year ago, so do I have to pay those fees or can I leave them out ?
Everything is so confusing and my wife is stressed that I could be deported as well as I do.
Could you help me? I really need answers
Thanks you so much in advance for all the poeple who will try to answer me !
