- Start date
first you are an asylee,which means you got a home with luck and then u kick the offer by patronizing prostitution ... 
was that the reason you had a problem with your native country?
i am sorry if i was harsh.but check this out a guy who used to work in our office got into trouble with the law here(and definitely not patronizing prostitution),he is under deportation proceedings,the problem is he is an indian.His passport expired before he got into this trouble,now the indian embassy is rejecting his application for indian passport saying we are not going to issue a indian passport to a guy who has denounced india...
so buddy be carefull with what you do,unless you wanna sit in the cell for the next n years without any country coming forward to claim responsibility to you!

Asylee,
You should seek a legal council. Each case is different. No one can tell you without knowing the details. Details such as was this a misdemeanor? what is the max sentence for this.....etc
But the bottom line is if the max sentence for this crime was less than 6month..then you are okay. This falls under the petty crime clause. So you will not be deportable.
Now I beleive that a pre trial diversion program is safe. The whole purpose of it is so that it does not count against your record.
These programs are intended so you dont get the record. So as far as your record is concerned you did not actually get convicted. For immigration purposes that means no conviction. So you are okay.
But again I am making a lot of assumptions here that may not apply to you. Please seek council, ad educate yourself.
querry11: why do you have to jump on him like that? Everyone gets in trouble. Help him if you can, not make it worse. What is done is done.
I hate it when people act righteous, when someone is in trouble.
Besides this is one of the most outrageous police scams out there.
I dont judge anyone, but this is the same as any other petty crime.
At least he did not try to hurt anyone or steal any money or even commit fraud to get something that is not his.

Hello alps1000!
Thank you for your advise, here is what happened.
I was busted in 1999 by an undercover female police and charged for patronizing prostitution. this charge is misdemeanor class B punishable by 6 months in jail and or $500 fine in Tennessee. I was put on misdemeanor diversion program for first time offender. there was no guilty plea or trail, I was put on 1 year probation, community service and paid a court fee, no fine, no sentenced or suspended jail sentenced.
My charge was expunged 1 year after I finished the program.
I did have a criminal lawyer but he had no immigration experience.
Will I fall under the Immigration petty offence exception with this charge?. Do I need a waiver with my application?.
Once again thank you!

so qili,what do you expect me to do ...congratulate him?
it is pathetic when there is a lengthy line of immigrants who are sincere and hard working to get into this country for a better life yet they get rejected and then there are people who get the chance but rather blow it on a prostitute !
