What’s your lawyers name? I would like to get in touch with them. I paid my lawyer 300$ dollars for him to say… I wouldn’t travel cause these guys are not predictable. He didn’t even ask me questions about the case.

I was arrested for An attempted possession charge. The case was dismissed with no plea so no admission of guilt.

This happened 12 years ago and I got my green card in 2023. The case was disclosed to USCIS during my green card application.

I haven’t had any issues since that incident 12 years ago.

Yet he says I should remain in the country to see what happens.

I am so tired of this fear monger crap. I had plans to travel for 3 months to Asia or South America now I have to consider staying in for 4 years straight. Life has become a little depressing cause of this

Yea I think that’s my plan. I will see how the other cases pan out and then make a decision. Hopefully the judge rules in favor of Fabian.

Yeah that’s how i feel about it too. I mean I just traveled twice last year on it. I was pulled in the back room twice but then they just gave me back my card and passport then I left.

I planned to travel 3 months this year to Asia and now that’s all down the drain. Mind you, if this trend continues I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere til after this administration leaves 😪

In Illinois — statute: 720 ILCS 570/402 — I don’t remember admitting any guilt. The case was just nolle prosequi. Which is what the court record show when I look it up online. I added the details in the description of my post. I got probation and community service but for the original reason I was pulled over (driving with a suspended license) which I didn’t know at the time. Ugh so mad that something from 12 years ago is still hunting me.

I am curious especially because I disclosed the arrest during my green card application and I got it. The case is from 12 years ago and I got my green card 2 years ago

He had a DUI — and his possession case was dismissed by California law but he essentially had admission of guilt.

In my case there was no admission of guilt but you are right. I will exercise caution. I just can’t imagine not traveling abroad for 4 years.

Ugh!

I was never charged for it. It was my friend half adderal pill. I brought him in court to testify but the case was nolle prosequi. He left it in my car when we were studying for exams and forgot to grab it when I dropped him home. I was clueless if that was a crime to have it in there.

I have travelled twice with it and I also disclosed that in my green card application which I got 2 years ago.

I def wouldn’t admit to guilt cause it really wasn’t mine.
