I have been arrested for shoplifting and discharged on personal bond. I have never been convicted or in any trouble whatsover. My court date is on Tuesday and I am really scared. I got an advice to plead no contest, which I would really like more informations on. I don't think I am facing jail time (the items stole were probaboly of a value less than $50) but I dont know? May I be?
But the most frighting thing for me is my immigration status. I am currently on an student visa (I dont study though, I dont have my I-20) but I have a case for green card due to marriage. Does that make me illegal? Is this wole thing with shoplifting going to affect my chances of getting green card? Am I facing the possibility of deportation? Please help me as soon as possible. Time is crucial because the court is in only couple of days.
