Hi My Fiancee, the beneficiary! was arrested in 2007 in the U.S. for drinking in public, it was outside her friends house, they held her for only 3 hours, she wasnt convicted or charged with anything. She had a tourist visa at the time, do you guys think that this can have an impact in our petition? We already received our NO2. What can we do???? is this going to be a problem?? We are sooo nervous! Thank you so much for all the help

Are you sure she was formally "arrested?" Did the cop say: "you are hereby under arrest for drinking in public" or was she just shoved in the police cruiser and taken downtown and then let go?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Hi Thank you for your reply, she was arrested for drinking in public, and held for 3 hours to sober up, not convicted or went to court, we already called the place she was taken and they told us that they dont have any paperwork for her there, maybe to try Sheriff department, The faciity she was taken shows that she was arrested in 2007. We are so nervous. what can we do??? Thank you

If they do not have paper work regarding it, then it really does not show up in the system. Unless they ask if she was arrested you don't need to bring it up since they are looking for convictions.

If it was me & my fiancee, I would just not mention it. Being held to sober up is not really a crime, just a mistake!

Best wishes we will be in Cd, Juarez in the first part of June right behind you!

these videos my help you in the process.

Public intoxication is not a crime involving moral turpitude, and alcohol is not a controlled substance. Public drunkenness is not an inadmissible crime, even if there was a conviction or admission of guilt.

It's irrelevant. Don't worry about it.

I agree with Jim on his quote: However, repeated Arrests and Convictions of Alcohal Abuse legal or not will be looked at. It does fall under Moral Turpitude on the beneficiary and is also submitable if the Petitionary is a repeat offender. Sounds just one Offense so you should not worry about it as Jim said.

I have experience with this. I was arrested for an accusation a roommate made. Spent the night in jail, but no charges were pressed. It caused no trouble at all with our K1 since I was not convicted of anything at all. It never even needed to be mentioned. Hope that helps! :)

(P.S. My roommate was just a brat and lied to the cops anyway. I didn't do anything to her.)

Moral Turpitude is the beneficiaries background. I know Jim will look this up for sure. but, I think I read NO MORE THAN 3 Convictions related to Alcohal. This sounds like a single incident and will not hurt the application.
