    I don't like your lawyer!!!  Does your fiancé  have paperwork showing that the "sentence" was carried out.  There are many approved that spent time in prison.  All they need to know is that the courts have approved whatever punishment and that your fiancee is now free and clear.

     

    Another thing is that you cannot expunge a conviction.  You can expunge an arrest but if there is a conviction that is on your record forever.  Make sure she has the proper court documents and that her police certificate is clean now.  All she has to do is prove that she served her time/ paid her fine.  

     

    I have been expunged for an arrest in 1991.  I know this well.  My lawyer did it for $2000 and I did it in Cook County, Illinois.  That is about the most expensive place that can be done.

     

    I think your lawyer is trying to squeeze you a little.

     

    It is US law that the CO is concerned about.  As long as she is clean now and has paperwork with the previous disposition you should be fine.

    John and rose thank you for your help.

    It does say at least for Thailand, if beneficiary pled guilty or was charged with a crime where the maximum punishment was over one year that they could be denied. Basically meaning it didn't matter what they actually served or paid. So what she was charged with carried a maximum jail time of 2 years and a maximum fine of 4000 baht and she was only required to pay 2000 bhat and it was done.   don't know what to do, all I know is I want her here in the US with me.

    Just got noa2 approval today but then talk to my immigration attorney. Find out my fiance's criminal record maybe a problem. When she was 25 she got into a fight with a girl over a guy. She pled guilty and paid a 2,000 baht fine ($60 usd) no jail time. But the section 295 she was charged with says not more than 4,000 Baht fine or not more than 2 years jail time. My attorney says counselor at US Embassy in Thailand will deny her based on the two years even if she didn't serve jail time. Wants me to pay 10000 u.s. dollars to get her record expunged. From what I've read online, expunging a record doesn't always help. Does anybody have any experience dealing with criminal record issues? Thanks for any help.
