    Default I'm an H4 Applying for F1 Visa (with an Arrest)

    Hi

    I am a Canadian college student, I moved to Texas from Canada in 2002 because of my dad's job and have been living here ever since. I went to MS and HS here and am currently going to Texas Tech University and am a 3rd year student. I am an H4 dependant of my dad but I have to change visa status to F1 since I will be turning 21 soon and am effectively aging out so I have to change to F1 in order to stay here and finish my college education.

    When I was a freshman in the spring of 2008, I got arrested for possession of marijuana (2 ounces and below) which was a class B misdemeanor I believe, I got a lawyer and had the case dismissed but it's still on my record. I was wondering what consequences this will have on my application from an H4 to F1?

    Also, I do not have any other or previous arrests or any criminal records.
