Will I have a criminal record?

[TBoneTX 45,305]

Tbone, I shudder to think what the ecuadorian consulate does to folks they catch lyin' !

Oh, they don't even bother, then 'n' there; it's "Everyone is a lyin' fraud, including the American citizen whom we ordered here," and the "frauds" are grabbed by the neck-scruff and the belt and are heaved from the consular premises, to land face-first on the pavement. The pre-printed 221(g) or letter of refusal then follows, in the form of a paper airplane. If events were ever to progress past the Assumption stage to actual Questioning, and actual lyin' (on the part of the beneficiary or USC) were indeed determined, I believe that the standard treatment of the beneficiary and/or USC might include being drawn-&-quartered; or, being staked in a field by both hands & feet, and being covered first with honey and then with a jar of fire-ants, si man. Or maybe being made into food for the (doubtlessly skinny) lyin' in the zoo, si man.

A DREAM, IN ONE ACT (not original material, unfortunately)

A CO in Guayaquil was (after yet another 2-minute interview) heaving yet another potential visa-beneficiary out of the consulate when both stumbled over a bottle. Inside was a genie, who said, "Because you are obviously enemies, I will give one of you ONE wish, and the other of you will automatically receive DOUBLE what the first of you wishes for. What is your wish?" he asked the beneficiary. The beneficiary thought, and then said, "I wish to be half-dead."

IF they ask you about why you got fired, and you told them why, and at the same time you tell them they didn't report it to the police so there was no arrest or conviction, then no, I don't think you'll be denied. I understand that you're anxious and afraid. I don't know what it's like to be interviewed in your country as well, so I can only suggest that they're not going to be asking a lot of details about an old J1 visa. The focus of the interview will probably be on your finance and your relationship. Will he be coming to the interview?It would also really help if you filled in your timeline, your country, and what type of visa you're on a journey for.

How'd your interview go?

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Hi Everyone

I have some question to ask you here. I was in the states 4 years ago with J1 visa. I took some money from the register about $150. I was caught by my employer so they fired me. I wrote the confession letter and leave the job, I wasnt sure if I have any criminal record in the U.S.

Will I have a problem with a criminal record, misdemeanor or felony?

P.S I didnt go to the police station tog et a finger print or has been deported back to my home coutry.

Thank you and wish you all the best.

This is the 3rd (at least) time you have posted the same question. You do NOT have a criminal record. You CANNOT have a criminal record unless you were arrested, tried, and convicted in a court. You were not...so you don't. It is likely your employer reported the theft, he was obligated to, so assume he did. It may or may not be an issue at your interview. DO NOT LIE if asked about it. Lying will be a more serious offense than petty theft.

Very possible. We know several J1 and F1 visa holders. Some have two year residency restrictions, some do not. Some have to work a particular job, others cannot work but are students or, in one case, a student teacher at her college (Russian girl student teaching English, she has a two year residency requirement to return to Russia and teach English) I know that if the foreign country has paid for the program generally it has a residency requirement. All too cons=fusing for me and I really don't get into that.

Hmm.... I am guessing the interview did not go well. She hasn't been on VJ since the day of her interview ( Nov. 12th). Was interested to see what happened.
