Hello guys,
I have a problem with an answer I gave in the DS260 that may be false.
Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty, or other similar action? I answered 'no'. At the time I completely forgot about a situation that happened to me.
I was in a car accident and I was responsible for it since my car has run out of control, I wasn't arrested or anything but the procedure in my country is a case like this is handled by the justice department since there were injuries (minor injuries). The trial has begun long after the accident, at the time I was studying abroad so I didn't show up to the trial and I have been sentenced to two months of prison (this was for not showing up), when I heard of that I hired a lawyer and made an appeal and then I had nothing, I only paid a sum of money. I don't have the justice record so I don't really know if this means that I am convicted for involuntary injury.
What I should've answered? If I didn't already get an interview for December I would have changed it.
I don't know if I am making a big deal out of it since this doesn't appear on my police clearance, but I really like to know what should I do now?
thank you for reading and answering me.
