Folks,
I went to the American Embassy in Delhi for renewing H1B visa. I was once arrested though not convicted of Petit Larceny 5 years back. The case was null processed in court.
I wrote 'Yes' in the D-156 under column that says were you arrested.
Now they have almost rejected my visa in India and have done fingerprinting in India and have told me they shall get a background check by sending message to the State department and it might take 2 months to get a result back.
My idiocity by telling the truth has hurt me big time, it seems. some Qs:
1. Has any one of you experienced such a thing here? Any ideas how much time it might take? My wife shall be there all alone and I might loose a job also.
2. What was the verdict in your case?
3. I am very concerned that this might be end of my career in US (for petit larceny!!)
4. Can I consult and lawyer and expedite this processing?
Please Please respond back immediately....
