Brooklyn, NY asked in Criminal Law and Immigration Law for Virginia

Q: My wife, the applicant of form I-485 AOS just got issued a warrant for a hit and run. Our interview is next week...

What should she say during the interview regarding her charge? It’s her first ever offense of any kind and the whole situation was blown out of proportion.

A: If asked, she should give a truthful answer. She should also state that she has not been found guilty of anything at this time. If she has an immigration attorney, she shouldn't consult that attorney right away.
