Hi, everyone,
I am currently in Vancouver, Canada, where I was attempting to change my status from F-1 to H-1. Unfortunately, my fingerprints came up as a hit in the criminal background check.
I was arrested in 2003 for hit my wife in IN. The charges were dismissed. I have answered "NO" to the questions :"Have you ever been arrested or convicted?" because I had asked for a criminal record from the local police station, which showed I have no criminal record.
I am so worried whether they will refuse me for this lie?
I already faxed them copies of the dismissal to the consulate, what else should I do?
How long I have to wait?
Can I get the Visa?
Your advice will be really appreciate!
