    My colleagues are correct. Bottom line for "immigration purposes" is that your case was dismissed. Not a conviction for "immigration purposes". Will not affect your LPR renewal. Not likely affect your citizenship, although if there was an arrest you will be questioned about it. More information will be needed: exact date on incident, your complete immigration and criminal histories, exact date of the disposition of the case. You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney...

    It depends if you are a citizen and if your husband entered the US legally. Also if your husband ever had a petition filed on his behalf. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry

    If you are a US citizen, if she came in legally and if she is otherwise admissible she could adjust her status via your petition for alien relative. As far as updating the VAWA petition, she will have to call or notify the service center. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry

    You should contact an experienced attorney to find out what is going on. If there is an outstanding warrant it may be vacated through a motion. What you really need to worry about is the underlying charge (especially if your are not a US citizen). I always advise my clients not to offer any statements unless an attorney is present.

    Yes. However, I would first try to argue that one (or even both) of the crimes are not CIMTs. This would avoid removal and/or mandatory detention. ---------------------------------------- This email was sent by: Avvo, Inc. 1501 4th AveSuite 1900 Seattle, WA, 98101-1588, USA We respect your right to privacy - visit the following URL to view our policy.

    Unfortunately there is nothing you could do (since you don't wish to follow the cancellation or consular processing route). Now IF the latese USCIS proposal becomes a reality you have a good chance to qualify. This proposal will allow persons in your situation obtain waivers WITHOUT leaving the US. Consult with an experienced immigration attorney and KEEP UPDATED with the latest immigration news. ---------------------------------------- This email was sent by: Avvo, Inc. 1501 4th...
