Student visa with criminal record
Find answers to your legal question.





Student visa with criminal record

Hi all, I have in a difficult situation. When I was 18 I went to learn English (I am an international student) Santa Barbara and got drunk. I was arrested and resisted my arrest. As a consequence I went to court. I was charged with M 148 (a) (1) - Resist a police officer and M 647 (f) disorderly conduct. In court I was offered a deal by the fiscal and plead guilty of 415 (a) PC (disturbing the peace) and paid a fine of 600 $. Today, 8 years later, I have been offered a place in a master at Columbia for this Fall and am really worried about my criminal record may affect my prospects of studying in the US. I am really keen on any advice that you might give me. Am I going to be denied access to the US or it will just make the visa process longer? I also thought of applying for expunging my conviction as I don´t have any other record elsewhere but in any case it will not arrive for the visa application. Anyone experiences with similar cases or any thoughts? I will really appreciate any help. Thanks.
