Is Common Assault In The UK a Cimt in the USA Or Not?
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding my criminal record in the UK. This post is a little more specific since the last time. I have a criminal record for I believe it is common assault in the UK, the incident was against my ex girlfriend (about 6 years ago) we were both in an unhealthy relationship with one another and I was charged and found guilty of Common Assault and given a 2 month suspended sentence over a period of 2 years and 12 months probation which I completed with flying colors. I did not serve any jail time and I have never been in trouble with the Police before this incident or since. I was wondering if anyone could clear up whether this common assault is a Crime of Moral Turpitude or not? Obviously my wife and I are now about to file for a marriage based petition and we need to know whether it is going to affect us or not. Anyone that could clear this up for us that would be great. Thank you all in advance. Regards Michael. |

If this is a CIMT, the important thing is the punishment that you could have received under US law, not the punishment that you did receive under the law where the offense occured. An appropriate lawyer could. But it might require a little more information. Regards, JEff I will give you more info when I receive the Police report from the UK I should have it in a few days. You and Rene know so much about the process of immigration I am super impressed. Thanks Again. Regards Michael |

To be clear, I cannot answer your question. Ask a US lawyer.

No one here can answer your question with any certainty... and, as Mr. Folinsky is fond of pointing out - the devil is in the details. Take JEff's advice - contact a US attorney. Ian |
