Hi,
This happened back in 1996, i was arrested for shoplifting (i had forgot to pay for one of the things and came out) and taken to the police station. They took my photos and fingerprints and then i was out on bail. The lawyer in my school asked me to plead "No Contest" and pay the fine. I did the same.
I applied for Consular Processing and my interview's on 20'th Aug. I told my paralegal everything and he said its a minor thing and not to worry about. He asked me to say "Yes" to the question in the P3 form and give him copies of my court documents and take the originals when i go for the interview. my questions are....
1. how serious are misdemeanors treated from immigration point of view
2. does anybody know of any similar case and the outcome of it.
i would appreciate immediate responses as my interview date is nearing.....
