đź“‚ An old arrest, a dismissed case, or an inconsistency in a past application does not have one automatic immigration answer.
USCIS has expanded its screening and review efforts, including reviews of some already-approved cases. But immigration consequences depend on the details: the exact charge or statute, the final court outcome, what was disclosed in prior filings, travel history, and many other facts.
Do not assume that an old DUI, a drug-related case, a domestic-violence allegation, or another prior incident is either “no big deal” or an automatic loss of your green card. Both assumptions can be costly.
Before you travel, file for citizenship, or respond to an immigration notice, gather your prior filings and certified court records. Then get advice based on your actual history!
