    Angry Will a Civil Demand Affect My Application for a Green Card

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut


    I got into a stupid, horrible, terrible, etc. inccident and the security guard thought I was shoplifting. I was such a IDIOT by mistake I put a $ 6 dollar lipstick in my pocket with my chainkey. I was at the register, and I paid for all the things that I bought in the store. I was gonna buy the lipstick, but I totally forgot that I still had it in my pocket. Then when I was leaving the store a man came to me and said that I was leaving the store without paying for something. I was in SHOCKED! I asked him WHAT? He said you forgot to pay for the makeup that it's in your pocket. I explained him what happened, but he didn't believe me. He took me to the back of the store and filled out a paperwork with my info. Then he made me sign it. He never ask for my social security number, and he never call the police. He just made me sign a paperwork with my info on. He said he will keep the paperwork in the store as a record. He said the police will not bother me at all. Then he gave me a pice of paper "CIVIL DEMAND" In that pice of paper says that I will have to pay a fine to the store. I'm more than willing to pay that fine cause I really don't want more trobles. I feel bad about myself because I wasn't shoplifting at all. I just forgot that I put the $ 6 dollar lipstick in my pocket with my chainkey. Now I'm wondering

    If I paid the civil demand will I have more troubles after? Like going to court.

    Will a civil demand affect my application for a green card?

    I hope you people can help me out with my problem. Thank you so much.

    A civil demand creates no police or criminal record, and is not reported to the USCIS.
