I-765 Misdemeanor

[Yellowangel 0]

Application for employment authorization form : Question 19a and 19b.

Eligibility Category:

Is Q 19b a separate question or do you only answer it if Q19a applies to you? 

if so Q19b says to report misdemeanors of two or more but it also says report all arrests and convictions, which is it.

My husband the immigrant has one DUI that's a misdemeanor and spent one night in jail. Should he report this and answer yes to this question?

YES

 

he was arrested charged and convicted of a crime. he must report it and submit court documents about it. it is up to uscis to determine if it will effect his immigration status. for some peace of mind look up the petty crimes exemption it should fall into that so they will note it occurred but not hold it against him.
