I'm sorry if this has been asked before but it is really stressing me out. We just got our NOA2 approved. I read that I need to bring a police certificate to the visa interview. About 4 months ago I had my license taken for 3 months, and had to pay a fee, because I had caused a very minor accident, I was unaware of even causing, and driving away (which is the biggest offense, but the damage was a tiny scratch). I'm just mentioning that for context. How will this affect my interview?

Don't try to minimize or deflect from the severity of the charge.   Don't make excuses in an attempt to bypass your wrongdoing.

Own it as something you did.  Be factual and not emotional. 

Explain the circumstances, then the actions you took to rectify the charges.

It also wouldn't hurt to outline a plan, if asked, for learning the driving laws in the US before getting behind the wheel here.

Sound advice, thank you.
