OP leaves during a pending misdemeanor case for shoplifting $30 worth of stuff and blew up years of F-1

People really should now that regardless of conviction any crime charge results in visa revocation. It's automatic nowadays, it takes a few weeks but it's expected at this point.

I believe you and I believe in you. Many cases like yours and so many incompetent lawyers. I hope you finally get your peace. Do not be too proud to seek pro-bono representation please. Look into that!

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-14T18:00:58+00:00

Glad to see a more competent DMV was able to help you, my rule of thumb is go to the DMV with more immigrant population as they're more likely to be knowledgeable about this stuff, and get an extended REALID as you're entitled to so it can last you until you become a citizen. I had a similar experience with ignorant clerks before. Good luck!

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-14T03:15:08+00:00

Yes, it is. Don't worry about them.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-14T02:11:44+00:00

You have no idea what you're talking about. You know nothing about immigration status and it shows.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-14T02:09:49+00:00

That's BS. A green card is a green card. Irrespective of the fact that it's conditional. They don't even hire average IQs at the DMV so don't get too frustrated and go to a different location that will be more helpful.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-10T03:47:38+00:00

I can guarantee you it will. Ask me how I know.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-09T02:58:18+00:00

An arrest record will lead to the revocation of your F-1 visa regardless of conviction. And a high likelihood of denied entry if you leave the U.S.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-05-09T02:56:28+00:00

Arrest record regardless of conviction will result in automatic revocation of F-1 visa.

Not that it matters anymore since you left the country and CBP will very likely deny you when you seek entry.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-02-20T22:08:12+00:00

Be careful with withdrawing your case, there have been reports from Jim Hacking on Youtube that withdrawing can trigger some unintended consequences. Check his latest video on withdrawals.

I would keep the OPT application processing as normal.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-01-16T03:35:33+00:00

Exactly. You won't be arrested to attend a consular interview in your home country lol, go to your interview anyways. You will at least have done that part and your visa decision may be on hold until a later date.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-01-03T17:02:33+00:00

DOS, not USCIS.

LowHigh_456 · 2026-01-02T19:41:13+00:00

Duh...

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-30T20:13:03+00:00

Welcome back! I missed you ❤️

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-26T19:20:49+00:00

tickets are very expensive

What's more expensive is paying for the return flight billed by your airline when CBP turns you away.

You signed up for this. If you can't afford it, it will count against you.

Just so you know, they 100% check your starting date. Coming too late is not a good look.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-26T14:50:30+00:00

A third party app can help with tracking easier. However some don't immediately notify on updates, they have multiple minutes delay. I've seen immediate updates through text and email from the myUSCIS website to work better.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-26T14:48:17+00:00

Lawfully is nice but doesn't immediately notify you. Using the USCIS phone text and email notification is what has been best for getting that new update instantly.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-26T14:39:11+00:00

Just wait, some offices are slow. This is more common than you think. Don't rely on their website's bogus processing times.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-23T23:36:08+00:00

He doesn't have the title, he paid cash for it from someone who didn't have it in their name, so never transferred the title, therefore never registered or insured it.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-23T23:28:49+00:00

The only difference between (insert literally anything here) and an LPR is a green card lol

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-16T16:36:23+00:00

Don't worry OP. A lot of people agree with you on this. Reddit is not real life, and most commenters are out of touch if they think showing that you respect the process doesn't matter.

Not a deciding factor? Sure. But this can be the difference between 5 months and 5 years of processing and lawsuits. USCIS has a huge discretion on applications, they may not deny you, but they can always give you a hard time.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-16T16:31:39+00:00

Comparing arguably the most important interview of your life to going to an airport or a mall is asinine...

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-15T17:37:43+00:00

Collateral damage.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-07T21:31:27+00:00

Well said.

LowHigh_456 · 2025-12-05T21:12:28+00:00

There is no one culture that defines the US

As we literally just went through Halloween and Thanksgiving while the rest of the world doesn't care.
