Medical/Embassy Interview in UK

[AarMc 0]

Hi all, I was hoping for some advice regarding the embassy interview and medical examination. For reference, we are currently at the early stages of the I-130 petition for me to move over so we don't have appointment scheduled as of yet. My concern is that 5 years ago myself, along with friends, got into a fight with another of group of boys. This resulted with me being charged with Assault and Assault to injury (one of the boys had a cut on his eyebrow it was nothing severe). It wasn't pre-meditated, rather just a random fight that broken out over ridiculous argument. This was resolved with a fine, no community service or jail time as this was a first time offence - and remains to be my only offence. Since then I have helped out at multiple charity events and put myself through uni in my spare time along with working full time.

I was wondering if anyone who has been through the process in a similar scenario to me could give me their experience? 

I recently saw someone write a status whereby the husband had a similar record and due to drink being involved the doctor at the medical could categorise him as a 'Class A risk' for alcohol use. Not that I drink significantly, however should I stop? 

Any advice or reflection on experience is appreciated.

why don't you pay for a copy of your criminal report to see what is said there

and you do have to disclose this information on the ds 260 along with court papers and disposition of the case

Hi Jeanne, thanks for the reply! Sorry if I wasn't clear, I have obtained criminal report and those charges are what it specifies. I fully intend on disclosing the information also, I'm just nervous this could be cause for inadmissibility and was hoping for some reassurance or advice for the later stages such as interviews.

I don’t think your situation will  be affected directly by the medical, the previous post from a member you refer to was alcohol related and as such may indicate a drinking problem, you say yours was not alcohol related. 

 

Check / double check the conviction does not make you inadmissible, look through the following article to help understand:

Edit: rereading your post, you should be fine, but I would recommend understanding the details.  Also recommend you start the process of obtaining the ‘memorandum of conviction’ you will need at the NVC stage from the court you were convicted at.
