Hi gurus,
Here is my situation. I-485 of both myself and my wife transferred to
local ins office in Newark/Teterboro NJ. Probable reason is that my
wife was arrested/fingerprinted because of a misunderstanding with
a store in NJ. This happened after we applied for I-485,so we couldnt
mention it on the application. She went through the trial and the
judge fined $250 and thats it, there was nothing else. The charge was
\'Prohibited acts\' which is a misdemeanor. Other than this her records
are extremely clean.
We spoke with a couple of lawyers, all of them seem to think it ok.
By law it requires 2 instances of arrest/conviction for INS to reject
I-485 and also the probable sentence should be atleast 1 yr. Lawyers
say that we should say the truth and produce the disposition letter
from the court, when we are called for the interview.
If you know anyone who has been in a situation like this or similar,
please share with us.
thanks
