Im on H1B and i was arrested for domestic violence and i was offered 18 months of probation with the required classes by pleading guilty. Now my visa is expiring in sept and with these charges will i be eligible for H1 renewal. This was my first offense and unfortunately iam on the wrong side of law. what will be my immigration consequences, also i need to visit my home country so with these charges will it be possible to make international travel. Thanks ahead for your time and suggestions.

It is usually a CIMT (moral turpitude). It MAY be a "crime of violence" or "domestic violence". It can be deportable.
 
NO i have not yet acceoted the plea bargain, as my attorney wanted to see the immigration consequences. so what can i do to safely travel to home country without being in jail.
 
If they don't drop the charges , best thing for you would be to changes the charges and pleaing to "Disorderly Conduct" , even if you have to go jail for a weekend.
 
Thank you BigJoe5 and N400pg.

Is there a way to get my passport back from the judge, i need to travel to my home country for a emergency reason. And i dont want to be in in jail
 
They confiscated your passport in a domestic violence case? thats strange, there must be more to your story then you are telling here.
 
NO that is the only story, i was charged for false imprisonment which is a class 2 misdemenour, as i prevented my wife from going out and make call. This usually happens between us, just a night before she did the same but i was quite but next morning when i reciprocated same way she called cops. But iam extremely sorry for my behaviour.

Now court has given permission for me to travel outside the jurisdiction where the crime occured and i'm now in other state. So iam not sure how i can tell the judge its very important to see my parents as they are sick and my mothers helth is getting deteroited.
