URGENT! Need some advice/support

Hello everybody!
I found this site very interesting and useful, so decided to ask you Guys for an advice for a friend of mine. He got his I-140 approved and as a next step should apply for I-485. But he can't find her peace because of the following :( :mad: . Once while shopping, he changed the tag of an item for lower price (about $10 difference) and on the way out was approached by the security staff and taken to the store office. By admitting what he has done, he was set free, no police was called, no fingerprints were taken, was told that he can come to store again and no records will be placed. An item was returned to the store, but he was told that he might get a fine, if not, then not to worry. He is getting crazy about this mistake, feels embarassed talking about it with anyone (lawyers including), and I am the only person who can somehow support him because I assume that no criminal records had been placed. However, we are not sure whether he should report about this incident to his lawyer and on I-485.

Please help with an advice!!! because I485 should be signed off soon.

Thanks

As he was not cited or arrested he does not need to mentioned in his I-485. Howver, he can discuss it with his immigration lawyer. Lawyer is not going to do anything that can jeopardize his I-485.

The only problem is that he might get fine, and if it will be a case, how to behave for I485 because in the store he was told that no records will be placed? He really feels very embarassed to talk with his lawyer about this issue. Please advise

Thanks

But he will get fine from the store. Unless someone is fined from the court (either thru contest or no-contest), it does not count. He does not need to worry about this incident.
