Not all US state laws are of same code, issue might be similar, but code and consequences might be similar, Post with a bit details, might be some1 with your similar situation who already faced or experienced can respond. Good Luck.

DEOJ is deferred entry of judgement, for USCIS the DEOJ is a conviction even if the criminal case was dismissed incriminal court. The immigration sees this as a conviction and it can be a problem when you go for visa stamping or applying for green card or citizenship

I am on green card last couple of years.

 

I have collected court certified copy of disposition (the case was dismissed) document, immigration attorney letter, criminal attorney letter.

 

Also, original charges were reduced to misdemeanor and finally dismissed. This case was DEOJ, no sentencing or time served. 

 

Will re-entry and secondary inspection be a problem? Could I be disallowed on entry?

Does not this fall under Petty Offense Exception?

 

Thanks for help

If original charges was a felony or if the arrest was for a felony that shows up in the immigration

Yes u will be sent for secondary inspection

You could be depends on the poe officer

Not sure if this falls in petty offense
