I was caught shoplifting in South Africa when I was 18 and convicted with a suspended sentence. I am now 35 and have had no arrests or convictions since. I wish to immigrate to the USA with my family, hopefully via an international transfer with the company I currently work for. I was not required to disclose my record when taking my current position.
My questions are:
1) will my record affect my ability to immigrate and receive a green card etc?
2) do I need to disclose it to the American branch of the international company I work for?
3) Will character refrences be of any assistance?
Many thanks, and regards,
Quagga
