Hello everyone!
I really need some advice!
My boyfriend is getting ready to send his package to USCIS, but we are scared he won't get approved.
When he was young he was beyond stupid and got charged with illegal possession of alcohol under the age of 21. Twice.
We went to the public records office and got his records and wrote an explanation of what happened, BUT he was also charged with possession of marijuana (did I mention he was stupid when he was young?) but that charge was dismissed. Now we can't find any information on that case and we called the DA's office and they reassured us it was dismissed.
My question is should we mention the marijuana charge in the form? I feel like we should, but we can't find any paperwork on it and USCIS states that you can't have three or more misdemeanors, and this would make his third. I'd talk to a lawyer, but honestly we don't have the money for it.
Any advice? Or can anyone share their experience if they've gone through something similar? Has any of you gotten applied with three misdemeanors? Should we just forget about this whole thing and not send the package? I wanna kick his young self in the head for being such an idiot, but alas I can't.
Thanks so much for any input.
