Ten years ago, I was arrested twice for jumping turnstiles in ny. I got an acd plea for one and a dismissal for the other. In each case I spent one night in jail and was released the next day, on the second occasion, I did some community service. To the best of my understanding, jumping turnstiles in ny, is a class a misdemeanor, which is a serious misdemeanor. Im currently thinking about applying for deferred action, im an immigrant that fits the criteria to apply. The only thing I'm worried about is how my record will affect my application. Can someone give me some advice on my risks in applying please?
 
See an immigration attorney. Deferred action is in its early stages and there is not much data/historical precedent for how cases like yours would be handled under this new executive order.

Cheers!
