It doesn't matter'. You're married into citizenship after 1yr, even if you have felonies. Trust me I know. I live in the most culturally diverse city in the world and they still stand in front of Port Authority offering money for brides & grooms.
 
Now I'm looking at electric fences, pitbulls, motion detectors and an app to show my perimeter live 24/7.

Gotta go now, installing spyholes for 360 degree perimeter view, 8 more holes and I'm finished drilling through every wall.

I had to put tape over my webcam lens. One more paranoia inducing post & I will have to smash my router.:Namaste:
 
Awesome so Im sticking with them as it would be a caution for me at present. Also I dont want to lose these if I can help it. Stuff the law :)

That might be a great attitude to have and show to our fellow rebels :rocker: here but in reality it sucks being in jail. And no amount of weed, or special plant is worth it. I've been to jail twice for weed. Jail is mighty expensive. And what is the first thing one always does when he gets out of jail? He goes to a buddy who bends a sympathetic ear and gets them high while listening to their story. One can always get high. So losing a quarter, an Oh Zee (oz), or a plant or three because you have to throw them away is nothing in the grand scheme of things because you only start weighing things, wishing, and looking into your hindsight [and regretting] after you are in jail. That's when those material things do not matter anymore: But before you get caught you don't think about your freedom. You've got a chance right now to get rid of those things that might put you in jail. You don't have that chance once that "knock" comes.
Better to have your buddies laugh at you and cajole you for throwing something away because you were paranoid [Yes I have a few of those stories myself] than to have to call them to try and bail you out of jail.
It's like we've got these two little Evel Knievel consciences and one is saying "Be bold, be safe, be sure and throw that stuff away, think of your job, your family, your reputation", while the other is saying "You are a bad a$$, you've never been caught, they can't catch you because your too smart! Keep your stuff right here, they'll never come and bust in your door, that only happens to stupid people!" The evil side of your conscience will play into your pride and make it seem as if you are invincible. Don't listen to it. Nobody is invincible.

Okay, I'm going to shut up now 'cause I've said my piece. I wish you well whatever happens [or doesn't happen]
 
BAR, If you are saying that being married to a US citizen for a year makes you a citizen and are therefore able to come to the US, that is not correct. it only gives you the chance to apply for an immigration visa as the spouse of a US citizen.

There's a link to a site that discussed how to get an immigration visa for the spouse of a US resident. note that the application requires that the US citizen spouse be living in the US at the time of the aplication, meaning there would be some separation time while the application is being processed.

with respect to the effect that prior criminal convictions can have on the visa application, most of the sites i looked at to read about this issue stressed that drug convictions are looked on harshly by the immigration services.

both of these areas warrant serious consideration if you are looking to come to the US. you're right, what you have there would come under the minimal penalty rating in the UK, as you said a hand slap and loss of gear. but the criminal record would be there. is allowing a minor conviction to occur worth the potential risk of denial of any chance of coming to the US?

if it's important to you, i agree with thecanuck, protect your future and reduce your risk. it's better to move any plants and gear than to lose the option of coming to the US, if that is something you might really want some day. especially if the plants are ones that really didn't work out the way you wanted them to grow-wise. once that immigration option is gone, its gone. you're too good of a dude to take it on the chin for something as minor as a plant or two.

not trying to preach. it's just important stuff to consider. if you've got any friends who are lawyers, ask them for some guidance and don;t rely on what any of us are saying for stuff like this.

best of luck man.

Nuff said! Thank you :)
 
I'm in agreement with the two of you as I have no grounds to stand on. I can admit when I'm wrong but there must be different circumstances when the non-citizen is already in the United States. I have a few acquaintances that get married & divorced every 2 yrs.
 
BAR you are indeed a gentleman for admitting that there is/isn't enough information here for you or Light to make any sort of life decision on.

Light we have quickly seen that, as yet if this could seriously effect/affect your future, then you should either find out from dept immigration (?) or clean up and play it cool.

I shall say again, we will all be very happy when you and yours are moved and safe...
 
Now if everyone can take a deep breath....

In.......out......just watching the breath coming in and out of your nose........
In.......out......just allow yourself to breath normally.....and observe your breath....
In.......out......

Pack it or roll it, smoke it....aaaaaah.....that's better now....
