    Default Diversion program for shoplifting

    Recently I was cited for shoplifting and I was offered a diversion program. I completed the program and the charges were dropped. I realize that from the immigration perspective, it would be as if I was found guilty. In Arizona the max punishment for my crime is 6 months in jail. I'm married to a US citizen and I have a conditional green card. Will I be deported when I apply for the removal of the condition next year? If I leave the country in the summer for a couple of weeks, will I be let back in?
    Any infromation on this woul be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The USCIS may consider the offense, but it may fall under the petty offense exception so as not to cause immigration problems. Unfortunately, for detailed information about your specific situation you would need to consult an immigration lawyer.
