Default Criminal record

Hello,

I was arrested for public intox and disorderly conduct when I was drunk one late night in the middle of Arkansas and got caught peeeing by the road.

One might think that this offense is not very serious, but I'm abit worried that it will affect my future. My girlfriend is an American citizen and we plan to get a fiancé(e) visa to get my back.

Will my criminal record make it impossible (or hard) for me to get a visa?

Thanks,
occl

Your best bet is to post this in the marriage based visa section on here.

When you say arrested do you mean arrested, charged and found guilty or arrested and told not to be a naughty boy again?

Arrested and guilty. Fees paid. I got a criminal record for it.

I saw (or rather, overheard) a case at the Vancouver consulate with almost identical circumstances to yours. The guy has been picked up in San Jose for public intoxication. He had all of his court records with him and they gave him a K-3.

A good place to post would be the marriage based immigration newsgroup.
