Need Help after court Disposition

[frank_1123]

Hi All,

I was arrested in 2012 for MAN DEL CS PG 2 OR 2-A >=4G<400G and the degree was felony 1, The case was disposed on 2014. I was in pre-trail diversion and served 6 months of probation. 

I have never traveled to india after that. Now the problem I have is i need to go to india for some emergency,

Is it safe to go to india at this time? If at all I need to go what are the documents i need to carry and any details of how to respond to visa officer regarding that. 

also is there a chance i can seal the record from public?

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

First, nobody here knows what that letter salad means.

Second, things are never expunged or hidden for immigration.

Third, you have to be truthful to the immigration officers.

Your first step should be to discuss the issue with a good Immigration Lawyer. What was the possible minimum jail time? You could be in trouble and NEED to talk to a Good Immigration Lawyer. Any potential jail time of more than one year may render you inadmissible even if the matter was subject to a plea bargain. Take this matter extremely seriously and do not depend on any forum as you are literally in the firing line and would presumably want to return.

I believe these charges are related to controlled substances . You will need to contact an experienced immigration lawyer . I am not sure if it falls in CIMT

 

No records can be hidden from immigration officers.

Also remember, once you disclose the details in a DS160, you have to divulge them everytime you fill out a DS160.

And in your case, I would recommend you disclose it to be truthful. They would anyway have this information since this is a felony.
