Have i made a huge mistake?

Juveniles by definition can not commit CIMT's?

That is a very odd comment, thought if that was the case then it would have been mentioned somewhere. Any supporting documentation? Anyway you only have to worry about Convictions and Cautions, the former is proven guilt, the latter agreed guilt.

Reprimands sound like nothing at all.

Yeah i was a bit confused when i read it this morning, as i had never even heard of a reprimand.. after googling it, it looks like it is the youth version of a caution though.. i don't know what to think anymore and really don't want to take bad advice even though the lawyer we got this time seems very knowledgeable and is one of the best in texas

ok, after much research i found that a reprimand is a first warning, giving before a final warning - a formal telling off. Confusing... besides the point anyway i still got arrested, and just want to know if it is possible to apply for a waiver after being denied AOS interview, on vwp?

They would have to hit you with a misrep charge, sounds unlikely, they should then give you the I 601 waiver opportunity.I doubt if the Lawyer knows diddly about UK Criminal Law. I remember a Lawyer specialising in waivers commenting that in this sort of situation she would need to liase with a UK lawyer to translate into US terms, obviously looking to mitigate the situation.

Could it get that far, theoretically, sounds unlikely.

Yeah you are right, UK laws are so much different, it doesn't even look like 'reprimands' exist anymore, and there is little info online.

So you agree with the lawyer? Theoretically if we were to do AOS on VWP (we are both here now visiting) then found to be charged with misrep at the AOS interview, we have 60 days to file a i 601? I assumed that if we got denied that was the end due to having no rights on VWP.

I was in shock that he said this is more risk free than going back and doing consulate interview.

Thank you for the quick response by the way!!

My guess and I am not a Lawyer is that you are here and to get you out is tricky but to not let you in is easy.

I would feel more comfortable with that comment if you were here on a B.

We will try get a second lawyers opinion to be safe, thank you for your advice!
