Disclose of Criminal Conviction during interview

[softvirgo]

What is the name of your state?California

I had got arrested/convicted for Public Intoxication 647(f) las month and this month I got approval notice from INS regarding removing conditions on my residency.

Now tomorrow I am going to INS office for stamping on my passport so they they let the ball going for my 10 year green card.

I have said NO to clause of Arrest/conviction in my petition because everything unfortunate happened afterwards.

Please explain me what options do I choose from below 4
1)Go there and tell the officer voluntarily that I have been arrested/convicted for Intoxication.

2)Keep my mouth shut and don't tell them anything unless they ask.

3)Is there any extra form which I need to fill to disclose my conviction and send it to INS separately.

4)Should I make another appointment to meet immigration officer to let him know all the things.


Though I know Public Intoxication is not a deportable crime. But what I am scared of is that they don't put a label of fraud on me as I didn't disclose my arrest/conviction.

Carl please don't get upset I know this is a kind of immigration question but I have seen hardly any response on the forum so I posted it over there

Please advise.

I am not a lawyer and not well-versed in immigration law and procedures. You will really need to ask an immigration attorney.
