Ok, I've interviewed successfully for a B2 visitor visa a couple of years ago in my home country.  I brought all police records available to me.  Both the one issue I had in my home country that was punished as a "disturbance of the peace".  However, the other crime is a CMT and from the U.S.  I did speak to a lawyer prior to the visa interview where they told me that it is important to fully disclose this while setting up the appointment and during the appointment.


The interviewer (extremely nice guy) asked me the standard questions, then asked me about my criminal past.  I handed over everything I brought with me, both what I had happened in the U.S. and in my own country.  After a few very nervous moments he asked me with the papers in hand, "Is this it?" which I replied "Yes".  I was expecting a denial based on this but was granted a visitor visa.


However, in a year or two I'm going to get married to a U.S. citizen and relocate to the U.S., but me being my nervous self I have googled and googled about my single CMT and have come across all visa types, including the visitor visa.  I read that a CMT would basically be an automatic denial to my visitors visa, so now I'm worried if he ever even looked at both or just glanced over them.


So now, I'm afraid the eventual green card interviewer will ask me how I got a visitors visa with a CMT?  And then think I withheld information from my interview, which I did not. I knew they'd finger print me (which they did) and would find out and I didn't want to misrepresent myself as the lawyer said it could lead to a permanent bar from the U.S.


Does anyone think this could be an issue?  I mean, I brought all my documents with me knowing full well they'd run my fingerprints.  Yet somehow, I got a visitors visa without hassle in spite of having a CMT offense (non aggravated burglary) and this is worrying me to no end.


Thank you all for your time.
