misdemeanor charge and impact on VISA and Green Card

[nicedude1504]

Hi,

Last year i did a stupid thing and charged for misdemeanor crime in Arizona. It was related to Public sexual exposure and got 1 year of unsupervised probabtion and conselling with no fine. After compeleting my conselling and wating for few months before compeleting the probabtion we were able to make my conviction set-aside and dismissed. It is similar to expungement but in arizona it is called set-aside and case would be dismissed though it would show in ur bacjground check (as set-aside and dimissed).

MY biggest worry is how is it going to impact my job and Green gard. I haven't applied for Green yet but want to apply as soon as possible. Currently i am working on a pretty good job and they want to make me permanent but during that process they would go for background check. I am unable to sleep most of the time abd bit worried. I have two questions below.

1. Could companies reject my employement after background check?. and how will it impact my job opportunites?.

2. If I apply for Green Card, would it be denied?. If yes what are my chances to get the green card?. WOuld waiver application help in this regard?.


Thanx and any help/response in this case will be greatly appreciated.

I think it is up to the employer most likely.

There shouldn't be an issue for GC. However, you will have to go through an interview at USCIS Local Office.

In Arizona there is no expngement and w ehave only set-aside. Though my case is set-aside, it will still come under background check as conviction set-aside. Will it not be an issue for GC?.
