My Case Scenario
I came to the us in April 30th 2001 as n F 1 student originally from Kenya, I transferred from my original college in Illinois to one in Michigan. I was doing good till September 2002 when I was involved in an accident. I was charged with two counts of negligent homicide (mcl 750.324) though I had no recollection of the accident nor were there any witnesses nor the police could not really know what happened except for the fact that my car had crossed the centerline. It was around 10:30 pm on a country road. I was not aware of what was going on until one of the victims mother visited me at the hospital told me what had happened. We became friends from that time on, anyway one year later I was charged with the offense. I did end up pleading a no-contest to the offense with the victims families and prosecutor advising me to plead a no-contest. I had a court appointed lawyer then. I was sentence to 12 months probation and community service, I also had to pay court fees amounting to $1400 and no restitution as the families did not want me to pay.
After a long therapy I went back to school taking fewer classes and progressing up. I did end up dropping out of school in 2006 september due to the fact that I couldn’t present the with affidavit of support and bank statements. This was due to the fact that my mom had gotten cancer and she was not able to do anything, I got the hospital papers to show, she passed away in 2007 September. So I was out of status for 1 and half years.
I met my wife who is a USC in 2003 got married in September 2006, we do have a 3 year old daughter and a ten year old step daughter, we still married and I wanted to have your opinion on what I should do, I already did all my paper work for adjustment of status, got to certified copies for my criminal record, all is set to be mailed in.
Please advice me and tell me what my situation is?
