Hi,

I'm thinking about moving to California maybe to stay for good. My girlfriend is American, we met in South Korea and have been dating about 1 and a half years and are planning to get married in about a years time. I have family living in San Francisco and they are going to do all they can to help me get a green card. I have 2 degrees and a masters degree in e-learning but the only thing is about 9 or 10 years ago i got arrested for drunk and disorderly and was fined. How will this affect things, this was my only ever run in with the police. Will this prove a big problem?

Cheers
Any help would be so great.

I assumed you paid the fine. You were teenger then, right? I wouldn't
worry about it.

Are you applying for financee visa? That's the fastetest route for
you.
