Hi Everyone.

REALLY REALLY REALLY hope someone out there has some information they can help me with.

I've been working for 3 months on my O1 application, and a wrinkle has occurred, as I 2 months ago was stopped by the police from riding my bike on the sidewalk. The only reason I did that, was to avert getting hit by a truck that was driving way too fast. So I rode up on the sidewalk to get out of the way.

Anyway. My lawyer told me to deal with the summons I got. I missed my court date of course by one day, and then went to court and got fined a 100 dollars, which i paid. But now my lawyer says that it might be bad, as I'm now convicted of a violation.

Will this turn up when they are processing my visa application? And in terms of the form DS-156 for my interview (if I ever get that far), there is a question: Have you ever been convicted of a crime or an offence? Should I say Yes to that, and would it ruin my chances?

HOPE HOPE HOPE, someone have dealt with this and have some info that would assuage my fears.

Thomas

THanks!
