Hi, I was pulled over (due to a problem with my wife's car registration) in Manhattan Beach, California a week ago while driving my wife's car. I have a valid Mexican drivers license, however the police officer stated that he could not accept that license because California law stated that only a US issued license is valid for driving. So I got a ticket for a misdemeanor (12500 (a) VC -Unlicensed Driver) and have to go to court within the next two months.
After researching on the CA-DMV website I found out that you are able to drive in California with a license from another country, with the exception that it has to be valid.
So I am going to plea not guilty.
My question is, how will this affect my family based (through marriage) green card processing? I am going through consular processing and I am at the step of receiving date and time for my interview in Mexico. Should I document this incident when I get interviewed within the next month or two?
Thanks,
