I-130 approved, I-485 still pending..misrep

The questions were similar to what I stated already (when did you fill out the f-1? Do you remember the application asking about the arrest? Did anyone ask you about the arrest?). I don't remember what he said at the end, I think that he had to speak to an adjudicator; we were allowed to make closing statements and he said he would keep our statements into consideration of our case.

Hello, any update on your case?

[csj50 0]

Only got our official I-130 approval notice. I believe our I-485 will take a few weeks...

to pitch in on a similar case:

I had a minor crime conviction when I was a teenager: attempted shoplifting, got caught and payed a fine. By laws in my country this disappears from my criminal record after 1 year and I don't have to disclose it. My first US visa was before the incident, my second one was after, and I mentioned it in the application. Nobody asked me about it though. My F1 was past 1 year time and I answered "no" to questions about crimes, because I thought I am allowed to do so. Then I did AOS after marriage, and again answered "no" to all questions because I simply forgot it ever happened!

Then I did ROC, and again answered no.

Finally I went to do my N-400 and read "have you EVER" been convicted and that even if it is cleared by the laws of my country, I still have to list it. So I did. I also submitted all court records and a criminal record (BTW, I accidentally requested 2 records one after another, and one came clear, one had this case mentioned as cleared... I used the clear one, obviously). During the interview I told the officer I answered to the best of my understanding (have been convicted, have not been arrested), but he argued it was an arrest and fixed it in the application. He looked at the related documents and said he'll need maybe a week to review. A week later I was approved. Also in VA.

Be prepared to give them all related court records with translations and a cover letter, but I think you'll be fine.

Sounds like you were very lucky.

Sounds like you were very lucky.

maybe. But I also think N400 application specifically says "have you EVER been... even if cleared, expunged, etc etc" while other applications only say "have you ever". I also gave the CO a translated quote from our local laws which stated I have a right to consider myself never convicted. I told them all about it and I spoke to a reputable immigration lawyer and no one was concerned.
