Enter USA with an American criminal record
Hi, I come from France
I obtained an F1 visa on july 2009, and went to Nebraska on a basketball scholarship.
During Halloween party, some cops gave me a MIP (minor in possession of alcohol)
I went to see a judge and was convicted for this crime, and got an 250 dollars fee that I paid;
Now I am trying to go to california on january.
So her are my questions:
- Do I now have a criminal record in USA ?
- Can I possibly get ejected of he country ?
- Do I have to lie to the customs saying that I don't have a criminal record
- If I have one, can they see it with my fingerprints?
I also never gave the police officers and the judge my passport number or my social security number.
Can they find out by themselves ?
