Can I apply for the green card for my wife and me?

It talks about 15 years from sister to a sister. Your sister in law cannot petition for you. When you have an immigrant visa petition pending, you are risking losing your B1/B2 visa because of the intent issue.

How can a California 484-488 PC back in 1994 affect citizenship?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
In looking at the California criminal code, the section that you cite appears to relate to petty theft. Five years is the usual period of time required for good moral character, and an offense like petty theft committed in 1994 far exceeds the five-year limit. It should not affect any application for naturalization in the absence of other criminal offenses. (I assume that if the petty theft occurred before receipt of permanent residence, the offense was disclosed to the immigration or consular officer). Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee & Arthur Lee, Esqs.’ (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.
