I live in NY since 2001 when I came with visa B2 and my brother filed an I-130 recently on my behalf. What I'm worried about it's that I was convicted of the offense PL 240.20 in July 2005 in NY and I was sentenced a one year period of Conditional Discharge and during that period I must comply with to perform one day of Community Service and the payment of $95 (SUR+CVAF) which I did. How does that offense compromise my brother's petition? I know that in NY there is no such thing as "Expungement of criminal records" so should I apply for a "Certificate of Relief from Civil Disabilities" even though the offense is a violation and no a misdemeanor?
