Did you at any time in history hire a solicitor to have this verdict overturned and innocence proclaimed on the front pages of the local dailies?

If asked about your criminal past, you give a brief reply and hand over the documentation. First mistake you made is to not make copies of paperwork submitted with each and every petition you submitted to immigrate to the US. That said, USCIS will have a copy of your ACRO report and your submitted documentation in your case file. Learn your American history, dress casually but neatly, be respectful, and good luck.
