If you want help you might need to tell what it was for...

Can you give us a hint as to the type of conviction ? It makes a huge difference on the probability of a waiver.

It was called a bind over for 1 year(no jail ) and a fine for a public nuissance offence for breaking a bottle on the street on way home one night.Thank you

Didn't you get advise in your other thread?

Just file the K-1 and see what happens. That happened over 30 years ago. Just be honest about it all the way

Your offense sounds like it should either be no issue at all or waiverable if breaking a bottle and disturbing the peace is all that happened.

1. If you're so worried about the legal misstep, why not get it expunged (deleted) from your record? Any competent attorney can easily do it.

2. Follow the guides on this website and don't rely on anyone to hold your hand through the process. You need to read the guides, follow closely, and then seek advice when you really need it.

3. Believe that all ends well. Confidence is everything.

Good luck!

Important to know what country finance is from

some consider anything no matter how small a big violaiton of public

Getting something expunged will not affect immigration at all, USCIS still can see expunged records.

Go look at the administrative decisions for I-129F under the LAW tab. You'd be amazed. I am assuming that you may have broken the bottle and done something else with it and pled to a lesser charge. Otherwise, you have read the process, why be worried. You will see, like most are saying, that it shouldn't make a difference. Be prepared for either a longer wait for an approval and to supply documentation of the disposition of the offense. It is all about credibility. How believable you are to telling the truth about NOT being in a fraudulent relationship and not being a potential harm to your beneficiary or beneficiary's minor children if he/she has any. So it is really the egregiousness of the offense (mainly against a minor or extreme bodliy harm to an individual) and whether you have any other factors that would increase your risk to be willing to commit immigration fraud. You probably have nothing to worry about , but just declare every little thing upfront that you believe makes you look suspect.

Thank you for all the replies.Just to say my fiancee is a US citizen..I myself was born of a uk mother and American father and i have lots of family in the US.I have British citizenship.We are both in love and this will be a genuine marriage.We are confused about this "Moral Turpitude"Some crimes are covered by this and some are not.Its very confusing.I was looking at a transcript of us state web transcript where a consular answers live questions.My charge of "breach of the peace" when asked about by someone,was answered this will not affect an application and is not classed as "Moral turpitude" although they would need to see the charges.We want to file the petition form Even so..we have saved for a year to get the visa process started..We are neither wealthy or rich so we need to understand what possible outcomes .I see the waiver appeal is $725 if refused a visa..What would happen if an appeal was not given?If it went that far?We are both trying to stay positive,but truthfully never thought things would be so complicated..Thanks

At the interview you are approved or denied.

If denied, and a waiver is available that can be approved or denied.

If denied no visa.
