i was convicted of 4 felony distibution charges 11 years ago would this have impact on marrying someone from overseas? Since they where all charges at the same time and arrested and tried at the same time does that mean i can select no ? Since it kinda was a single act ? But all the charges happened thorough out a year but was charged all at once!

No, only if there were 4 charges for the same offense. For instance... "possession of narcotics, possession with intent to distribute, possession of paraphenalia, criminal recklessness." being filed for one traffic stop in which you were found with narcotics in the vehicle, and say were on the street outside a school. (I'm not sure what the actual charges would be in that case, but it was all I could think of.)

If the charges were for 4 seperate incidents, then I'm afraid there isn't much hope, really.

I think you have answered your own question...it clearly stated not arising from one single act....you stated that it was from one single act. Law enforcement will press as many chargesw an they cn during an arresst in the event that there is not enough proof for one, they still have another chance at another one. Most people plea not knowing what there chances are before a jury or because it is easier and less work for their attorney. Since they were first time felonies, you may have even been eligible for deffered adjudication. But none the less, it sounds like you would be ok. Good luck!

He stated that it wasn't from a single act. It was for 4 seperate incidents over the course of a year. Merely the arrest and charges occured at one time. Four counts of felony distribution would count as four seperate acts, I would think. You can't distribute the same "product" four times at exactly the same moment in time....

Well, I guess we then need to ask if it was the same narcotic or not. Technically, he could have had more than one narcotic on him or had just enough that would allow them to charge it as a distribution charge. Now, I also hae to ask, even though that was what he was chareged with, what was the OP convicted of? That also will make a difference. He dad say that they occured at the same time. Remember that a charge is only a charge and not a conviction. Realistically, we would need more info for an exact answer. But if they occured at the same time as a result of the same arrest, then it is one single act and I have seen people with several distribution charges on one docket.

Let's say that a guy is a serial murderer and he murders 4 people over the course of a year. They arrest him for four counts of murder, but I guess using your logic that this resulted from a single act...interesting!!

Look im not trying to say it is a single act i was asking a question thats all. I just wanna know if this would stop a K1 from going through thats all ????????????????????????

[PlatyPius 5]

Mostly likely, yes. However, we aren't lawyers so I would suggest contacting one to find out for sure.

[patiently_waiting 0]

single act meaning one docket with one or more counts. if there are different dockets for each time, then it is not a single act. bottom line, you need to contact and attorney to see how it applies to you bc we do not know he circumstances.

You could always just apply and take your chances, you would only be out $455 bucks. Since this is a gray area in your case, it is a tough decision for this forum. Let us know how it goes for future people with the same types of questions.

Yea i understand it is tough to answer and i need to talk to an attorney. As far as the conviction it was all on the same docket all the charges were tried at the same time and sentenced at the same time. Does anyone know if it does fall under the listed crimes does that exclude them from the K1 or just make you provide all the details of the crimes and have someone decide on a case by case basis >?
