In June 01 I was charged with Misdemeanor Retail Theft but it was bargain down to Summary Retail Theft. I had to pay a fine, no jail time. In PA, that is equivalent to a Summary Disorderly conduct, as my lawyer says... it's like getting a speeding ticket.
I recently received my H1B approval and am not in Ecuador attempting to obtain my visa to return to the US to work (My H1B is effective Oct 1st 05).
The US Embassy over here has requested my fingerprint to be sent in to the FBI so they can obtain more information about the incident.
What are my chances of having the visa denied and what are my chances of getting mny visa.
Do I need to get an immigration lawyer? How can an immigration lawyer help me at this point in my situation? Is there anyway I can contact the FBI to see how the fingerprint checks are going?
Thanks so much, any help is highly appreciated.
