Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: Emigrating from U.S. to Australia

It could, yes certainly. I think you need to understand the consequences of not appearing in the face of criminal charges. Your rights are at stake and if you don't appear, you will lose certain rights, plus it could affect your ability to enter other countries in the future that you have never thought about even visiting. You will be convicted in absentia with no rebuttal of charges against you. If you ever re-entered the U.S. again, you would have to face that conviction, plus the failure to prosecute your case AND departure from the U.S. This is serious business, so you owe it to yourself to fully understand the consequences of chosen actions.

Dear Inquirer:

Convictions for crimes involving "moral turpitude" may render a person inadmssible to the US. If you have only one conviction and it is deemed a "petty offense," the conviction may not result in inadmissibility; however, the criminal statute under which you were convicted and the sentence would have to be evaluated to advise you correctly.

Re: Emigrating from U.S. to Australia

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.
