the only hope is for the USC to move to the Philippines..She should not bother coming here since she was with fraud and bigamy... the USCIS would not forgive her that easy... Just let the guy relocate to the Philippines and tell her to stay where she is now

^{Good day! I am embarassed to say that last January 2013., I was caught shoplifting at Walmart amounting to $40 and was charged. There was no jail time and no fingerprints taken, It was my first offense ever. The court made me do 10 hours community service and after completion they dropped my case as NOLLE PROSSE. And so being married to a US citizen, I am supposed to apply for citizenship this August 2014. I am very nervous since even though the charge was dropped, it has only been a year since the incident happen. I heard that you have to wait for 3 or 5 years before applying for citizenship to establish good moral character if you were charged... However, since my case is my first offense and case was dropped then am qualified in the Petty Theft Exception clause. I was even able to fly in and out of the country last year proving I am admissible , thaks to the Petty Exception Clause..My question is IF YOU ARE COVERED UNDER THE PETTY THEFT EXCEPTION CLAUSE, CAN I APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP WITHOUT WAITING FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS OR 5 YEARS CONSIDERING THAT I FALL UNDER THE PETTY THEFT EXCEPTION?... thank you all for your time}
