Admission and Port of Entry Question

[lak12345]

Hi,

I'm on H1B visa, I had a shoplifting offense that has been dismissed after attending a anti-theft program. This incident happened in the state of Ohio. The court paper says that the case is dismissed on attending the anti-theft program. The case has also been expunged and in the expungement letter it says not guilty.

Now, my question is, I have come to my native country, so will I be able to enter US again or will I have any problems at the POE?. Will it affect my visa?. Please let me know. Need advice.

I doubt you will have problems at the POE if you have a valid H-1B visa. Who knows whether these records are fully gone or still appear but if you were reapplying for an H-1B visa at a consulate the question may come up.
