I am a Canadian married to an American Citizen. I will be *out of status* in 5 days. I am going to get my medical today, but they will not have it signed and approved until the 25 and I will be out of status by then. If by some change our adjustment of status and paperwork is denied for some reason or we do not have enought evidence, can I go back to Canada without being banned from the United Status? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am a Canadian married to an American citizen and applying for an adjustment of status. Ten years ago I was charged with I think was a Summary Offence (not drug related or no violent). I am not even sure if it was a Summary Offence but because of the reason I think it was. I was working for a short time out of my home doing aromatherapy/sensual massage, and I was visited by a police office and then given a ticket by a by-law/peace officer. The city I live in allows sensual massage in certain areas of the city if you are licensed and the area is commercial and licensed. But this was not the case for me. I had to go to court for this ticket and could not just pay a fine. Plead guilty. Had a lawyer. Paid the fine....not sure how much.....about $500 I think. I was never fingerprinted. My question is, when filling out the Adjustment of Status in the section *Have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking the law or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic violations, I would answer YES. But I was NEVER arrested, imprisoned or indicted. I was ticketed(cited) and fined. So what explanation do I need to give on a separate paper. Do they want details? Do I need to have the ticket or court file as it was 10 years ago and do not have the court file number. What is the best course of action for me? This was a small mistake in my life that I wanted to forget and know it has *come back to bite me*. Also, will this affect the processing of my application? Thanks so much for your help?
