It must be haha - Steve Heller I just didn’t know what would happen at the physical interview under the current circumstances so i was curious on peoples opinions.

JeanneAdil - Yes, and can prove it. Boiler - so, at the interview would they look into it and if they see also that the maximum penalty is a year in prison and i can prove i didn’t do any prison time, they would approve it or just deny it and have me prove it via a waiver? The lawyer i’ve found is a UK based lawyer but has studied US immigration since 1992 and specialises in waivers/inadmissabilities so i would imagine he knows his stuff about both sides.

Hey all, i’m posting this to get peoples opinions on the current situation…i’m due to speak with an Immigration Lawyer next Friday but i keep overthinking everything and need to vent. Currently part way through K1 visa (i’m the beneficiary in the UK) 9 months into the i129F waiting time. I have some convictions on my Police record, one when i was 17 and one when i was an adult. Both indecent exposure. Now, as far as i’m aware theres a rule that if a conviction is under 18yrs old and it was more than 5 years before filing the K1, its an exception but obviously there is two crimes so that exception is null and void. There is another exception that if theres two crimes, regardless whether it involves moral turpitude or not, if the aggregate sentaces of prison time are over 5 years, they’re inadmissable - my minor conviction was just a warning (i understand in the USCIS’ eyes, its still a conviction so fair enough) and the adult conviction was a fine. No prison time. Looking up US laws, it would appear this is a misdemeanor punishable upto a max of 1 year in prison in many states so it seems like it fits the bill. I’ve spent countless hours trying to find someone else in a similar position and i got lucky, i found some USCIS headed letters basically confirming that indecent exposure whether for sexual gratification or not is not a moral turpitude. I then found another USCIS headed letter from someone who had 4 convictions (two were moral turpitude, two werent) but because he didn’t do any prison time, he was not inadmissable so was allowed to enter the US. My question really, when the time comes for the interview at the embassy - how would it normally happen? Is the officer just going to see the convictions on the Police report and deny it straight away and then have to file a waiver or am i allowed to present the documents i’ve found that the crime isn’t moral turpitude and the fact i’ve not done prison time? Any input in muchly appreciated, like i said i just need to vent because i still have over 10 days to speak to my lawyer.
