Hi,

I hope this is an appropriate thread:confused:

I am originally from a small town in of Clovelly, London, England, and recently received permanent residency in the United States (It took three long years!). I am living here because I have married an American; I enjoy being, and love living here in the USA.

However, I am concerned about my status being revoked, resulting in deportation.

I was arrested for "obstructing a Police Officer or Firefighter," and "Criminal attempt;" the criminal attempt was an "attempted assault by throwing a punch that didn’t connect."

Due to very strong discrepancies in witness and police testimonies, along with other mitigating circumstances, my case was resolved by “deferred prosecution.” I was not required to enter a plea, and as long as I stay out of trouble for 12 months, the case will be closed and sealed to the public with no conviction recorded, or me having to admit guilt.

My lawyer did say, that because of this result I could not be deported, due to me not admitting guilt or being convicted of the crime/s. However, I am huge worrywart, and I was wondering if anyone here could put my mind at ease.

Could immigration find out about this court appearance and decide to initiate deportation procedures? In addition, how does immigration find out about these things, if at all?:(


Thank you, in advance :)
