Class Hit Does not Constitute CIMT

[mallu2u]

Hi,

I recently go the visa with the following annotation "Class Hit Does not Constitute CIMT". I had a case of petty larceny in the past which I declared truthfully.

Does anyone know what the above means and that when I renew my visa via State Dept, this annotation shall also be part of the visa?

Thanks.

CIMT means crime involving moral turpitude.

Crimes of Moral Turpitude. Any alien who - (I) is convicted of a crime involving "moral turpitude" committed within five years (or 10 years in the case of an alien provided lawful permanent resident status under section 1255(j) of this title) after the date of admission, and (II) is convicted of a crime for which a sentence of one year or longer may be imposed, is deportable.
