NeedHelp12 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hi all, I was arrested for Petty theft 13 Years back and the case was dismissed (Pre Trial intervention). I see in the pre-trial agreement that I agreed to the below. Admit that there was probable cause for the Defendant's arrest of Criminal Conversion/MA Participate satisfactorily in a program of behavior modification (NCTI Class) approved by the Deputy prosecutor. Perform 40 hours of Community Service work designated by MCPO. Would this be a problem for immigration purposes ? I googled a bit and found that even pre-trail conversion can cause issues if I admit to facts sufficient to warrant a finding of guilt. Would admitting that there was probable cause for the Defendant's arrest of Criminal Conversion/MA in my pre-trial agreement means, I admitted to facts sufficient to warrant a finding of guilt? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
natan111 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 It could be considered a conviction. You performed 40 hours of community service, which is a form of punishment. You implicitly pleaded guilty, for immigration purposes, by agreeing to it. However, the incident happened 13 years ago and is not considered a deportable crime so you should be fine.
