Hi all! I’m sure it’s been talked about many times but I just need some reassurance from experts. I’m an alien seeking adjustment through marriage to US citizen. The thing is that I was involved in a car accident in 2016, which was not my fault, but I was given a citation for driving without a license (never had one issued) and was ordered to show up in court for hearing. Basically my lawyer went for me and I was just ordered to pay fine of $320. It was a misdemeanor 2nd offense. Should I put yes on a question about “have you ever been arrested, cited etc”? I have certified paperwork from court that shows that the case was dismissed and I paid the fine. I’m leaning towards saying YES and just explaining everything on the interview. What do you think?
