Retail theft and Green card
Hi, in Jnuary 2011, I've been caught on a shoplifting charge for $15 worth of merchandise in Pennsylvania , the store manager had called the cops.
The cops arrested me and was taken to police dept. and got photographed, fingerprinted.
18& 3929 &&A1 (LEAD)
I plead guilty and paid $188 chrages. Mailed the money order to the court and tha was it. The lady told me on the phone that it is all I had to do. It was Fines: $50 and Costs: $138(by the way what is the difference between costs and fines?).
Im about to apply for adjustment of status through the marriage to a citizen of US.
It is the only crime that I have done in my entire life.
My question is , how is it going to affect my adjustment of status in USCIS ?
Thank you very Much.
