Has anybody filed for Removal of Conditional Status with a very minor police issue? Was there any problem? All I have on me is a small fine for 1-day overstay in a foreign country. I was never arrested or charged, just paid the fine at immigration police. My question is, does this qualify as an offense that I need to report in the form? Is it going to be an issue? I didn't mention it in the DS-230 II because my husband told me the offenses and crimes asked for there referred to those when one is arrested, taken to court or imprisoned.

What can you advise me?

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

If it asks for it on the I751 form, disclose it. Better safe than sorry. I received a police caution in the UK back in 2000 - I disclosed it at every stage of the immigration process, and it has caused me no problems.

02-18-2009 - I-751 filed (Removal of Conditions)

02-20-2009 - NOA1

03-20-2009 - Biometrics Appointment

03-23-2009 - Touched

06-22-2009 - Removal of Conditions approved (via USPS)

07-01-2009 - Email from USCIS advising of approval

07-06-2009 - Received 10-yr Permanent Resident Card

02-18-2010 - Eligible to file for naturalization

Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. Anyway, my overstay stamp is on my passport. And I had 2 people examine my whole passport book during the interview. They also kept it until my visa was released. Was waiting for a remark about it and I would've told the truth. We'll tell everything in the cover letter when we file together for lifting of conditional status. Thanks. :)
