Question regarding waiver

[DonJuan 0]

In our interview (my wife and I) it was asked of me about my criminal record, i told them i was arrested when i was 16 and 18 she said the 16 year old one was okay as i was a minor and that in order to get approved for a green card we would need to get the arrest report and proof that im not on the run and that i had served my probation. We did this and went into see our attorney.... they really stressed out saying that a waiver was a big thing and that that charge when i was 16 might jeapordise my chance of a green card. The letter from the immigration asks for arrest reports just for the charge when i was 18, not for the one when i am 16. But now we are trying to explain to our attorney that we dont need to get the court and arrest report when i was 16 as it wasnt asked for by the lady in person nor on the letter and the attorney is still stating that we need to get the court report for when i was 16...im so confused.

If immigration are only asking for one thing then why does the attorney say i need to produce other info too?

I'll tel you why. From reading other VJ'ers posts, it seems that most attorneys make you jump through extra un-needed hoops just so there can be more delays, more money to be sucked out of you. If they are only asking about info on the 18 yr old arrest, only provide that. I think if you provide more info than what they need, you may confuse the USCIS and it may get messy and them requesting more and more info. My personal opinion, only send the 18yr old record.

BECAUSE LAWYERS MAKE UP TO $7000 TO CREATE A WAIVER!!! (snake) Give what was asked of you at the interview and nothing more. Dont let the lawyer make your decisions FOR you. (One day I'm going to create a crappy lawyer thread so people can see how they waste their money)
