Something on the police certificate.

[MegDan 0]

Okay, I hope it is okay if I post this here I'm just concerned about what my husband just read to me on his police certificate from Honduras.

It says that he was arrested for a public scandal and something in the words of "harming citizenship". He remembers getting arrested and said that it had to do with being out late in the street after the curfew. He was detained for 24 hours and then was let go.

I'm not too crazy about the words "harming citizenship". Maybe he didn't translate it very good, I'm not sure. I just hope this does not affect this process.

What exactly is a public scandal anyways? Is it something bad? Or is it a minor thing? It happened over 5 years ago so maybe the embassy won't look at it any further.

Any help or advice is appreciated! Thanks!

The consular officers are primarily looking for a "crime involving moral torpitude." This is according to U.S. moral standards too, of course. I imagine the incident will be discussed at some length during the interview, but ultimately it may not be sufficient cause for a denial.

Thank you for your response Chris Parker. My husband and I talked it over some more and we really are not that worried about it especially since it was just past his curfew. I am sure though it will be discussed at the interview as well.

Thanks again!

I am pretty sure that whatever he (hubby) has on that police report will not be a reason for denial since it seems that he did not really harm anyone. They will surely ask him during the interview and would ask him to explain that particular note on his file.

Good luck Megan!

Thanks Rina! No, he didn't harm anyone he just does NOT have that in him. I don't think that it is really that bad. He was just out late AFTER the curfew and so it could be MUCH worse!

Thanks for the luck Rina! I wish you good luck too!
