Hello,
A hit and run case is filed in California on my spouse(H4) as she didn’t knew that she hit another car and did not stop at the site, the other party contacted the police with the license plate and they filed a case on her and the lawyer suggested us to just accept that it was a mistake(ignorance). We did plead guilty and the court charged us some fine, community service. Attorney told us that the case can be erased completely from the records after one year(ie by Aug 2022).
We have India plans in June 2022(unavoidable) and we are eligible for drop box. I have two questions.
- Should I declare the above case on DS160 form?
- Will there be any impact on the H1B stamping or at the Port of entry due to this?
Thanks.
