Hi All,
I have completed my MS here in US and have been working for two years.
I\'m in the process of filing for my I-140.
PROBLEM (Your Advice needed):
When I was pursuing studies, I was arrested for misbehaviour at an Airport counter. The case went to the court and was even dismissed in a week. It was really a silly incident but somehow I was a scapegoat in this strict US world. Anyways .. but this did leave a mark behind ?
Now my question is :-
1) Does INS have any way of knowing such incidents of people ?
2) Should I go ahead and frankly disclose everything before INS ?
3) How should I proceed in my case for GC ?
My lawyer suggested that such things are not uncommon and some people do have major complications and I should not be too worried about my situation. Further he said to attach a certified copy of case dismissal to my list of documents and be honest about the incident rather than be questioned later (incase INS finds this minor incident in my record).
Now I want to open this to broad/experienced forum like us, and try to find a mass opinion or similar situations that people encountered and how did they handle them.
Any thoughts/directions/advices on this will greatly clear doubts in my mind.
Thanks in advance !!!
