CIMT and visa application : petty offence exception
I am working in US in L1 till Nov 2014 . I was charged with PC488 ( petty theft) and did not had any jail time but had to pay fine . As I am applying for L1 visa extension & extension Petition is filed by my company’s attorney.
Could you give inputs on Petty Offence Exception ?
As I understand I qualify for this but what precautions should be taken while applying .
As I had CIMT offense ever, the offense carries a potential sentence of a year or less, and the “sentence imposed” was less than six months, the person is automatically not inadmissible under the CIMT ground.
Is there any case of success in extension with CIMT and getting petty offence exception ?
