Hi, I would really like your help in this matter...
I was charged with grand larceny (shoplifting) back in 2002 and later
was reduced to misdemeanor with 10day jail sentence as my plea bargain.
This was my first and only offense since I came to the country in 1997. I got
married in 2004 to US citizen and just last month (June 2008) received my
greed card (I fully disclosed all the information at my interview and provided
all the required documentation). Since I haven't been back to my country for
11 years, I decided to go back visit next month. But I am scared that once I
come back and go through the custom, they will find out about my record
and I could possibily be sending back to my home country. I don't know what
to do and my husband is also very concerned. Can some one with this area of
knowledge please give me some helpful advice?
Since USCIS already knows about my offense and still grant me
green card, will the possible deportation apply? Or will it affect me when it is
time to either renew or apply for citizenship? If so, what should I do?
Please help me, millions of thanks…
