Does arrest by Israelis affect Interview result?

[Life is short 8]

Hi all,

 

Please your help if you know any similar stories, your help is appreciated.

 

As a Palestinian living in the West Bank, I was exposed to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which I was arrested by Israelis for less than 6 months, that was more than a decade ago (late 2000's)  . In fact, Thousands of Palestinians are arrested from their homes every year by Israeli military forces, so it is not only me, after being arrested I was then sent to an Israeli court in which they decided I was a member of a Palestinian political organization and being involved in political activities that were judged by the Israeli court to be against the Israeli law (activities were pro-Palestine activities). 

 

Following to my release date I never been arrested again for any political or civil subject and have clean records since that time. I got an approval from the USCIS and currently waiting for the NVC to receive my application in which I will file the DS-260 form which I will mention my arrest because the form has questions about previous arrests and belonging to any organizations. 

 

My question is if any of you guys have been in this situation and got an approval in their immigrant visa interview, or at least had known similar cases? 

Would that arrest affect the decision by the Consulate Officer in the interview for visa approval/denial? Any expected outcomes after the interview? 

 

Me and my spouse are waiting for several weeks, I was not arrested after being released, that is around a decade of years.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to US Embassy & Consulate Discussion; topic is about this phase of the process and is applicable to multiple visa types.

Would a waiver be accepted later on?

Thank you for your notice , yes you are right , I just felt this forum (Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)) of Visa Journey may match with the topic more than other forums I posted to before.

Since the USCIS approved you, you should be good. I have never been in any conflict not been arrested so I can't answer your question.  But I think the NVC (I THINK) asks for any court or criminal history, but I am not 100% sure

I love it when people read a thread especially if the author is asking a question and don't answer it, then ask if they see a similar question being asked.  That's like the author asking the reader "You read my question, why didn't you answer?" lol

Well the person might just be asking if they asked the same question previously because that does happen on here. I know you have seen where people ask the same question in like 5 different forums to try and get a different answer than the one they already got.

I didn't answer his question because I don't know the answer to his question and am not going to speculate. I looked at his profile which looks like it was just made a few days ago, so I wasn't sure if it was the same person or just happened to be coincidence that two people were asking similar questions in the span of a week or so. If he was different, I was going to look for the previous answer and link it to this one so this poster could get more responses. 

Furthermore, if I remember correctly, a lot of people answered the last time he posted yet he still is seeking MORE information after getting quite a bit of responses to a previous post.

Well, ignore the thread then.  So what if he's seeking more responses.  That's his problem if so.
