I am resending below because I did not really get any feedback, just one persons replied. Can anyone provide any kind of guidance on the situation?




Hi All



I have a question, I filed for my husband in May 2015 and we have gone through submitting all the paperwork and awaiting an interview. In 2014 after we married, he went back home and applied to college in Atlanta and got accepted so he applied for student visa. He stayed for a year studying and was about to go back home when he got stopped on traffic stop. Note that when he came on his student visa he applied for a Georgia LIcense which was suppose to be for one year til end of course but we didnt realize that it expired on his exact last day of class so when he was stopped his license had just expired a couple days in front. He was arrested and we went to court and paid a fine. Do you think when he goes in for his interview it would be a problem with him getting his green card. I spoke to a lawyer friend and she advised him to take a copy of the disposition showing that it was just a traffic offense and explain to the consulate officer what happened and that it was not his intention to be driving without a license. This is his first time ever being in trouble with the law here or in our home country.

I don't have any personal experience with this but i think you should be fine. they only deny visas due to 'crimes involving moral turpitude' such as murder, fraud, theft , rape etc. you should listen to your lawyer and carry a copy of the disposition to the interview. However, do not bring it up the matter unless the CO asks about it. A minor traffic offense should not hinder you

How long do we have to wait to complete the case? :clock: I am thinking of marrying my long time boyfriend from the Philippines this coming April 2016. Then, I am thinking of filing for I-130 to file a petition for him on probably last week of May or first week of June 2016. :luv: Can anyone please help me how to start, so I have an idea? thank you. By the way I will probably file the petition in Chicago Lockbox since I am from Illinois. :)
