Good afternoon,
I'm filling my AOS application and need some guidance with some of the questions on the I-485.
I entered the United States using the visa waiver program (ESTA), I'm filling all the paper work to adjust status now but have some questions that I couldn't really find the answer for.
Thank you in advance!
Part 1
Q1: on 25a "Was inspected at a port of entry and admitted as (for example, exchange visitor; visitor, waived through; temporary worker; student):"
I answered "WT Visa Waiver Program Visitor" is this correct?
Q2: on 26.c "Status on Form I-94 (for example, class of admission, or paroled, if paroled)"
I answered "WT Visitor" (the textbox is smaller than the one for 25a).
Now the bad part, page 10 Criminal Acts and Violations:
In 2022 I was arrested, and 1.5 years later went to court for Drink driving (DUI), I plead guilty and was sentenced to pay 500 euro and got my license suspended for 2 years.
Therefore, for the following questions I answered yes:
Part 8
25 - Have you EVER been arrested, cited, charged, or detained for any reason by any law enforcement official - Yes
26 - Have you EVER committed a crime of any kind (even if you were not arrested, cited, charged with, or tried for that crime)? - Yes
I answered yes, even though it's considered a driving offence in Ireland, and my criminal record is clean. It still counts as a crime, right?
27 - Have you EVER pled guilty to or been convicted of a crime or offence (even if the violation was subsequently expunged or sealed by a court, or if you were granted a pardon, amnesty, a rehabilitation decree, or other act of clemency)? - Yes
28 - Have you EVER been ordered punished by a judge or had conditions imposed on you that restrained your liberty (such as a prison sentence, suspended sentence, house arrest, parole, alternative sentencing, drug or alcohol treatment, rehabilitative programs or classes, probation, or community service)? - I answered Yes, because I got my license suspended, does it count as a liberty constraint?
And any tips on how to explain it as requested "If you answer "Yes" to Item Numbers 25. - 45., use the space provided in Part 14. Additional Information to provide an explanation that includes why you were arrested, cited, detained, or charged; where you were arrested, cited, detained, or charged; when (date) the event occurred; and the outcome or disposition (for example, no charges filed, charges dismissed, jail, probation, community service)." would be highly appreciated also!
Thank you very much in advance.
