You're the second Brit I've know on these forums who got nailed over a traffic cone. He was wearing it on his head. 😂🤣

 

I wanted to add to keep copies of all official information on your offenses. One of my VJ friends had it delay his citizenship until he could provide documentation of an incident when he let the air out of a neighbor's tyres. He was about 12 years old. 

Mate I was 14, I ran out of a building site with the bloody cone on my head too 😂 but in all serious its making me flap a bit now all jokes aside! 😅 Go ahead and add, I saw the forum about that guy who let air out of a tyre 😂

A caution is a conviction for US immigration purposes.

 

The juvenile ones should not be an impact here, despite it involving theft (usually a CIMT).

 

The battery one may be an issue. Specifics matter (and I don’t know local laws, the specific circumstances involved, what the maximum penalty could have been, etc). It may or may not be a CIMT. It may or may not fall under the petty offense exception criteria.

 

Having served in the military does not change criminal offenses. Crimes either fall or don’t fall as an inadmissibility

Thanks for your advice, I'll keep my fingers crossed and answer truthfully to all questions presented to me at the interview.

2. Juvenile Convictions

In general, a guilty verdict, ruling, or judgment in a juvenile court does not constitute a conviction for immigration purposes. A conviction for a person who is under 18 years of age and who was charged as an adult constitutes a conviction for immigration purposes.

Thanks, I received a reprimand and had 2 charges as a juvenile, I was not convicted as an adult nor have I had a conviction as an adult. I'm hoping they might overlook but I'll just have panic, wait and see.

What were the offenses?

Burglary Non Dwelling - stole a traffic cone from a construction site I was 14 just for a joke but I got a reprimand for it. Wasn't laughing after! 

Second one I was 14 again in 2008, Damage to property - Smashed windows at school, got the referral order for that. 

Third juvenile was Theft 2009 I was 15 took an airhorn out of store. Was given a 6 month conditional discharge for that, all petty and stupid when I was kid, the conditional discharge was given and I joined the army stayed clean for obvious reasons with the job didn't think my youth would catch up on me, I got a caution for Battery while still in the military, I threatened the guy my ex wife had an affair with and I got a caution for that in 2015. 

Hi all,

ive read alot of forums regarding this kind of issue, I have 3 juvenile offences from 12 years ago one was a reprimand, referral order and a conditional discharge 6 months. All minor crimes when I was a nuisance of a teenager, I have since enlisted and served in the army for 10 years and I'm due to leave in march, scheduling my k1 visa interview for February. I have one adult caution for battery which was just threatening someone and got cautioned for it, should I be worried about all of these, or will my juvenile record be overlooked due to my 10 year service In the military? All of these showed up on my acro report I literally have no idea what is going to happen, any advice would be great, cheers.
