non-immigrant visa number + arrest question

[musze008]

filling out the i-485 and its asking me for non-immigrant visa number.
i dont know what that number is.
the only thing i have is a passport with an i-94
which has an admission number and passport number. it also has immigratio file number.

where is the non-immigrant visa number located?


just f.y.i. i had initially traveled to the united states when i was about 7 years via my father who held an A-2 diplomatic visa. he has since become a us citizen.
this petition is being done via marriage to my wife who is a us citizen.

im stuck at this point on the i485.

my second quesiton:
i was arrested back in 2004 when my girlfriend and i at the time were arguing. i was held overnight and the case was dismissed and sealed when we saw the judge in the morning. i was told if anyone asks about it i can say i have never been arrested.

will this arrest deny my application for adjustment of status?


thanks for answering any of those questions.

Don't worry about visa number.Send in same enveloppe these forms: I-130(Petition),I485(Application for Green card )and I-765(application for work authorization)

That means you should have also had an A visa when you entered the US at that time. Check your old passport.

However, what they are concered about is your last entry to the US. If you last entered with a different visa, or without a visa because your country's citizens don't need a visa to enter the US, that initial visa when you entered at age 7 would be irrelevant.

Unfortunately that is not true for immigration processes. For immigration applications that ask about arrests or convictions, you have to disclose arrests and convictions that have been sealed or expunged. With the help of the FBI, USCIS can actually see records that were sealed or expunged, so you can get in trouble if you don't mention the incident.
