Hello Everyone, I am new here.
My question is concerning a Conditional discharge that took place in 2003 in Canada.
Back in 2003, I had an argument with my ex-girlfriend for which she called the cops on me. we were having problems for a bit and had decided to separate, one day I came back to the house to pick up my stuff when to my surprise I saw another man half naked in the house.
As you can imagine after 8yrs investment in this relationship I fliped, I was upset. Nevertheless, It was my fault, I shouldn't have reacted since we had broken up for a month.
She called the cops and said I had hit her, which is not true I only pushed her out of my way to go talk to the guy.
after going to court(with my lawyer), I admitted to have pushed her but not hit.the judge gave me a conditional discharge and I had to take a anger management course.
There was no Imprisonment, I was never Incarcerated
- In 2006 I've gotten a TN visa to work for an employer in the US.
I don't have any Criminal record in Canada but I was told by a US custom officer that I do for US Purposes
- my employer is thinking of filing for an H1B visa on my behalf.
My question is, would my application be rejected because of that Conditional discharged that took place in 2003?
Also, Eventually I want to apply for a Green Card or Citizenship, will that have an impact on me to be denied?
- Should I bring a police background check that shows I don't have a criminal record In Canada to clear my name with US Immigration?
How does all that work? Please help.
