H1B Renewal, Dismissed Case (Immigration Law)

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:21:00 GMT

Hi!

I was arrested a year ago on a solicitation of prostitution charge. I wont argue whether it was a correct arrest or not as its not the point; it is what it is. I would like to get my H1B visa stamped when I leave the USA on my next visit to my home country.
My case was dismissed in the interest of justice and I understand that’s the best possible result.
I have a few questions:
I understand there could be a delay – any idea on how much time this delay could be? This will help me plan my vacation and plan better as what to say in my office.
I am not sure what the grounds / what are the rules for denial are. Could one explain briefly? I have the best possible results i.e. dismissal.
Are there any other action steps that I need to take? I understand expungement of record doesn’t help from an immigration perspective.
Thank you in advance.

  • We don't even know if this will cause a delay, let alone how long a delay it might cause. It sounds like a situation where you'll have to see for yourself what happens.
