25 years ago, in my early 20s, I was convicted of theft (shoplifting) in an English magistrates court. It was the only time I have ever broken the law and I bitterly regret the whole incident.
I was fined £30 (about $55).
I don't know if the records still exist.
Do I need to declare it on a visa application form to visit the USA as a tourist?
Also, if I should want to apply for a green card, or ultimately for residency, how would it affect my chances?
I've read the relevant law documents relating to moral turpitude but I don't understand them.
