Real4t Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi everyone, I have been charged with DV aggravated assault and the case was dismissed back in March due to lack of evidence. I am on my 3rd H1b, it is due for extension in 2022. I received an offer from a new employer but I am worried if they are going to find out about my record when they apply for my h1b extension next year. Has anyone faced a similar situation where they have been arrested and had to explain to their new employer about their criminal history? Will they find out when they do my h1b transfer from my current employer. I am really nervous about changing jobs if it is going to cause an issue with my extension in the future.

pontevecchio Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Since the case was dismissed, you would be fine in any case. Explore the possibility of expunging the arrest record since the case was dismissed. Once done, private employers will not be able to access the arrest record. Even if they find out, it should not matter. Obviously, mention all information asked for by the employer. Make sure you hang on to the court disposition records. Quote Link to comment

Real4t Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Does having a no abuse order cause any visa stamping issues or immigration issues? when the DV charges were filed, I had no contact order which has been changed to "No abuse" does this cause any issues with immigration? Please help, I really appreciate any help on this. Quote Link to comment
