Foreign student on F1 visa for four years, recently arrested and charged with Petit theft at Lee County. No previous history.
I know that this charge is no grounds for deportation but am wondering if I would have trouble coming back into the country even with a valid visa and my records "expunged". Will they challenge me at the airport during re-entry?
I was also told that a diversion could be equal to a conviction..what would be the best way to deal with my case?

This is my first time ever being arrested, I've always been a good student, great relationships with my peers and teachers.
