Q: tengo un ticket de 100usd por pethit theft,en 2 meses aplicare a mi residencia, me afectara?me citaran para ir a corte
Hola realice un pequeño robo en Waltmart por necesidad de dinero (50usd), llamaron a la Policia y me pusieron un ticket de 100usd por Petit Theft. En 2 meses debo realizar mi solicitud de green card, afectará mi petición? Luego de pagar el ticket me llegará alguna citación a la corte ? Ya que en el ticket no hay fecha. Nunca he cometido otro delito
A: Consult with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. Depending on the particular statute under which you were charged and convicted, you may or may not have been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, which could serve as a ground of inadmissibility (legal obstacle to getting a green card). If you were convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, one would also want to evaluate whether you qualify for what is known as the petty offense exception. Again, considering scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. Many attorneys offer online video consultations.
