In 1994 I have wrote a few bad checks, and left the US to Brazil, believe was less than 10.000,00 $. In 2016 I have aplyed for a tourist visa here in Brasil, visa was denied. Now in 2018 I am filling a I 130, requesting a green card. My questions is if when I come for the final interview if this admittance of a CIMT back in 2016 will be a problem?
Assuming that you committed a CIMT in 1994, you should be able to apply for a waiver at the time of interview as the offense occurred more than 15 years ago as long as your admission to the U. S. would not be contrary to the national welfare, safety, or security of the United States, and you have been rehabilitated.
