He's right... if you plead guilty your claim that it was in self defense is null & void. Although domestic violence can be a misdemeanor it is considered more serious than most other misdemeanors (much like driving under the influence). You may need a lawyer's advice on this one.

Unless a good lawyer can come up with a technicality, your guilty plea and subsequent conviction will be a factor in USCIS' review of your case. Statements given to police have no weight, under the circumstances.

It more than likely comes under the umbrella of "moral turpitude", which would require a waiver. http://definitions.uslegal.com/m/moral-turpitude. Again you really need to get the advice of an attorney on this one.

Indeed, it is a crime of moral turpitude. I also wonder if this falls under the jurisdiction of the Adam Walsh Act.

This discussion is going all over the place. IMBRA is about informing the immigrating K visa applicant about certain US citizen criminal records. Petitions are not denied based on IMBRA. Crimes of moral turpitude are an issue for immigrants, not US citizens. A convicted murderer on parole can get a petition approved as long as the crime didn't fall under the Adam Walsh act.

There are two kinds of IMBRA waivers.

1. Waiver of the filing limitations for multiple beneficiaries. (not applicable here)

2. Waiver of reporting the crime to the intending immigrant. (that's the applicable one here)

Unless the petitioner wants to conceal the record from the fiance(e) or spouse, the second waiver category isn't needed.

thanks for all your responses so far and i will tell her about it. The actual charges we plead nolo to were called (affray) a lesser misdeminor charge defined as "a scuffle" but still falls under domestic violence.

Yea it was probably called "Simple Battery" or perhaps Assault in the 3rd Degree. Nolo is considered a conviction but it's not an admission of guilt & it usually protects someone from a civil suit on the same charge.

I guess you'll just have to use your best judgment as to who knows their stuff. Why not simply read the IMBRA law itself, then use your own "stuff"?
