Canadian juvenile records used in american immigration
Hello,
I am a Canadian citizen (29) married an American citizen. I am now applying for immigration. When I was 17 I was arrested for attempted robbery. I was offered a deal from the crown and took it. This way if I was found guilty I didn't have to do jail time.
I served 100 hours of community service. I was not charged as an adult. When I applied to university, they required a criminal background check. This came back as "may or may not have a criminal record"
1. do I need to disclose this information to immigration?
2. can homeland security have access to my juvenille record?
3. what is the best option for me?
4. will I be granted a visa?
Thank you
