1. crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT) • Fraud or false pretenses in obtaining something of value • Larceny or a misdemeanor theft by taking • Larceny after trust • Murder • Soliciting for prostitutes • Voluntary manslaughter • Sale of narcotics or other illegal drugs • Pattern...

As far as I know, yes. DHS(Department of Home Security) and FBI keep a record which is permanent.

1 year of probation and court fee (it's my first arrest). Anyway are you sure the school terminated your i-20? You gotta maintain F-1 status. You know it's more important than Visa. You need to reinstate your f-1 status right away whatever it takes. You have two options I guess. Find a new...

and you don't have to worry about the trial. I went to trial too. (I've been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor this july) I still stay in school w/o prob. Haven't heard anything from my school and INS yet.

When you're out of status, have you talked to an advisor in previous school? In this case, you may have to go to INS (now DHS) and they will decide whether you are eligible for reinstatement. I am also a f-1 student and have similiar exp. like this... If he/she is in good standing and has a...

Actually my lawyer and I tried to bring it to the higher court and fight back, but I couldn't pay more than 10k.. Come on man if you can afford, why not. If you don't, just move on. Expunge your record. Its better than doing nothing right? In my opinion...Just behave good. Don't break the law...

chill out man. the record will be expunged and it won't haunt ya for the rest of your life, but DHS and FBI will keep the record no matter what. Someone said expungement makes any differences on immigration matters. I dont know if it is true. Just a first offense/record won't hurt ya as long as...

Alex.. I don't worry about cops. Unless I break the law again, cops don't bother me. Of course we aren't criminals, but the reality is that immigration officials still think us a criminal regardless of convictions. that sucks.

Hello I am the guy who started a thread 'lewd conduct' a while back.. Finally I was convicted with a misdemeanor. My lawyer and prosecutors had a deal. just a year of probation. That's all. Questions: What if I really really need to leave US temporarily (e.g. family/financial problem)...

hmm speeding is a misdemeanor? i shouldn't move to virginia lol.

hey alex, i got a question.(i tried to private message you, but this forum wont allow it) how much did u pay (before & after trial)? my lawyer isn't cheap. should i look for another attorney? my financial situation is not that good now.. you can email me at snam74@hotmail.com. thx

You might be right. I know how u feel. I was doing it, but u weren't. u didn't do anything sexually. think about this way, what if she wasn't a cop? what if she was 16?? you would pay money and do it. Now you say, 'no way'. but they dont listen to you.. if you believe your innocent and it was a...

No, of course I am not a sex offender as you said. Probably the dumb cop forgot the hooker's age or tried to scare me. I got freaked out when I was arrested that night. I may take it seriously. you know, cop say whatever they want. ok not important right now. I read your story. Speaking of...

also. sex offender thing is totally BS. The lawyer said, its a lie. I could file a lawsuit against the department for false accusation or something.
