I saw that episode. A food fight. They did come back later and arrest the guy because he slapped his wife. The dummy didn't realize he was being set up. It doesn't take anything terrible to get arrested for it. Any mark at all that can be attributed to some form of violant act. A bruise, hand or finger print, or cut. The ax goes both ways though. Years back if a women slapped a guy it was no big deal. Which often times was done to provoke the guy into a physical retaliation. Different story today. The women can get cuffed for it to. Saw that first hand myself.

Don't beat up on the Canadian; its not his fault, he's from Canada, where they have different rules. Only problem is, said rules may be very different here and in other civilized nations.

Hi,
I am in a bit of bind here, so knowledgeable folks please lend a hand.
I am a Canadian citizen with US green card and my N400 is pending. Recently an argument with my spouse got out of hand. Long story short, I was arrested and charged with domestic battery. My lawyer indicated he might be able to get it down to simple battery charge. My court date is coming up in a few weeks. Now my questions are as follows:
1. If I leave US (with court permission), is it likely that I would run into problem reentering US? In other words, would my "arrest record" (no conviction) be visible to border agents at airport or land crossings?
2. What is the implication of a conviction on "simple" battery on my US citizenship application?
Thanks
David
Whether it is assault and battery or just battery, you will be ineligible to adjust for USC. A waiver will need to be filed once the court finalizes the plea bargain. Depending on what the court gives in punishment and/or fines will decide how much of a chance you have to become a USC. As for leaving the US, it will depend on how long. If more than 180 days, you will need to file the I-131, travel permit.

You can always take your kids and go back to Canada. It's not exactly like you would be taking them to a third world country such as Mexico.

However, in the woman's right hand is a Colt 45. We have a problem. Since they banned guns as so many want it got taken away from her.
