My mother was granted asylum in January, 2002 and along with her we (my siblings and I) were granted asylum as well because we were her dependents.
After filing for adjustment in 2003 for green card, my mother and all other siblings got their green cards (in February, 2006) except for me. We all filed together as a family.
On January, 2003, I turned 18yrs and the next month on February, 2003, I was ticketed for petty theft. I was not arrested nor was I taken to the police station. I was just finger printed and given a ticket (misdemeanor charge). I live in California and this is where I was ticketed.
On the court date I went to the court and plead guilty. I paid $500 in fines without any jail time or community service etc.
On January, 2006, I turned 21yrs.
On October, 2006 I got a letter from INS asking for a court certified disposition and “a written statement explaining in detail the circumstances of the incident that led to the arrest and charges. Provide specific details and describe your actions and participation in the incident.”
The letter that I got from INS on October, 2006 says that these documents (court certified disposition & written explanation of the incident) are due before December 25, 2006. If I do not turn in the paper work then my application (I-485) will be denied and I will not be able to get Green Card.
I know that I made a mistake and I utterly regret. But, I really need some advice and/or help.
Will I get my Green Card? What do I do? Do I hire an attorney?
Please give me your advices and/or assistance. I know that some of you will condemn me for my actions and I completely understand your frustration. But, please at this time I need your help. Kindly help me.
Thanks.
