Criminal

[anotherone 0]

Looking for advice. 

We filed for a cr1 on 09/June/2018. 

 

I'm the beneficiary in the Netherlands. I have a conviction for assault that I got when I was 17. Bad time, wrong people. I have no other convictions.

 

5 years ago I went a got a B2 to enter the USA, that was approved and I've travelled about 9 times on it since. 

 

Now, because I have a B2 does that mean I'm not 'inadmissible' for an immigration benefit? Or can that change?

The criminal charge is the concern here, not a tourist visa that has no impact on your immigration application.

So you were charged and convicted at 17... then after that some years later applied and were granted the B2 visa correct? I'm assuming you declared the conviction on the DS-160 form correct? If so, I doubt that it will cause any issues relating to the immigrant visa since they granted you the B2.

Yes, i had to get a b2 because i was arrested. I had to provide everything to get the b2, i never hide anything. 

 

What i hope is that they don't come down on me harder this time because its a immigrant visa. If your inadmissible surly you're inadmissible for both immigrant and non-immigrant the same,.

It shouldn’t be a problem as you were a minor at the time.

I think you'll be fine so long as it's disclosed.

That is the important part!  Be honest in the DS-160.  Don't hide anything and I don't see a serious issue.
