Eagle County, CO Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you had non-immigrant intent when you entered the United States and there are no other issues that would bar your admissibility, then you would be OK to move forward. You should contact immigration counsel to proceed. A Canadian visitor without visa may be petitioned by a US citizen spouse and file a green card application with the petition and not leave the US. Some of us take these cases on a flat fee, which is reasonable with no hidden costs. 

You must show good moral character to become a citizen.  The immigration services looks at your criminal record going back five years, but any offense, even if older than five years, that raises issues about good moral character can be used in evaluating your qualifications.  It certainly would be best to wait until five years have passed, but even then the issue may affect your application.

You have an interesting question, but I believe that you would likely have no problem when you apply for your green card. Most misrepresentations that we see have to do with companies and positions or family members in the US. I have not heard of a situation like yours being brought up at an adjustment of status interview.    Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
