    Does getting arrested for smoking pot and found guilty but only fined bring
    I was arrested for smoking pot while living in a dorm at a university. I am a foreign student. I pleaded guilty and was fined. When applying for a new F1 Visa, I was granted a waiver as follows 212 SMALL D, 3, A, 1, WAIVER OF
    212 A, 2, A, 2 GRANTED

    I have now completed my university studies in Chemical Engineering and Physics.
    I have applied for an OPT but still have not received any information. All that shows is, "adjusting students I-94.

    Will this be a cause for denial for the OPT program?

    Thank you for your reply

    Yes it can, you should have consulted an attorney before pleading guilty without a plea agreement in place or understanding what could happen.

    No one told me I should have done that. I was just being honest about the whole thing, no one even told me I should get a lawyer.
    So what are my chances?
    Can I apply for a masterīs program if I get denied the OPT?
    Thank you for your answer.
