I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
No problem at all, the new petition (I-757 i believe) with the new start and end dates is all you'll need, with the visa.
Share Answer: 
You are not restricted to the address you listed on your visa application. When you apply for admission when entering the United States, you will be asked to fill out a blue customs declaration form (6059B). On this form, list the address you will be staying at.
If you have a special work visa, you would need to contact your employer to update the information.

I cant exactly tell you what we see on the computer system, but we check for everything. We look at criminal history, travel patterns, we check your vehicle and person for narcotics.

I'm sorry, but I am not too familiar in this area. I only know of requesting a FOIA or a Redress Inquiry. If that didn't give you any information, then I dont know what else to tell you. Keep in mind, these requests can take up to 6 months or so before you receive anything.There is a number you can call in regards to CBP FOIA, maybe they can help you better than I can?

Some countries, by law, we are required to notify their consulate that you have been detained by CBP. Most countries, its voluntary on our part and only if you request it. If you are a violent criminal, we may contact your local authorities. However, for most immigration issues, you just return as a normal traveler like your just coming back from vacation.
This is the list of countries which is mandatory to notify:https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/consularnotification/countries-and-jurisdictions-with-mandatory-notifications.html

Its hard to give you a firm answer without seeing your actual record. Generally, simple battery is not considered a CIMT. Aggravated battery is a higher possibility. My suggest to you would be to apply for a visa and mention your arrest to the consular officer, who will then either approve or deny a visa. When you use ESTA, you wont know if your entry will be denied until after your plane already lands in the United States. By this point in time, if we decide to deny you entry, your vacation would have been ruined and all your money just went down the drain. If you apply for an actual visa at the embassy, you will receive a definitive answer prior to making your travel arrangements.
Share Answer: 
Yes, passport, ESTA, and a parental consent form that is notarized will work for you.
Please, make sure it is notarized, or stamped by an official, prior to entering the United States.
