Somebody caught to selling a tobacco to a minor in his previous visit to USA(PA state)while he was as a non-immigrant visa holder at that time.He worked at a convenience store, and he sold cigaretted to a minor (he forgot to check her ID). The police officer immediate came in and gave him the citation (summary offense).Also he showed his Driving license as a ID.He returned that citation back to them and thus he pleaded guilty.After that he came back to his country.During that time he or his boss never got any letter for fines.They suppose to send fines after 2-3 weeks,but it was almost 5 months since he submited that citation with guilty.After 5 months his boss went to that office to check ,and they said there is no record found for him or for that store.Now he(who sold) has his immigrant visa interview after few weeks in his country.So should he has to mention this thing in the DS-230 forms or not?? Will they caught this thing in their data even there is no record showing in that state court site.
 
A offense like that is usually not a problem, IMO they should not be able to catch it, and it's nearly impossible if he did not have a social security number, if he has one and he provided that number on that citation then there is a slight chance they will be able to get it, if they do it will be a major hurdle because as a Non immigrant he is not supposed to obtain employment in US.
