Shoplifting Need

My question involves criminal law for the state of:NY

I got caught for shoplifting for worth amount 200$ and I paid 500$ as penalty and my court date is on November in NY.

I am student and working in my OPT and my employer wants to file for H1 B.

Could you please suggest me whether this open case will create problem for
H1B approval. Police has taken my finger prints and this is my first offence.

Should I wait for the decision of court and then file H1b?

I would be thankful to you for your suggestions which is very important to me.

Thanks in advance.

Well, for any Visa, your criminal record is looked at.

I would suggestion consulting with a lawyer, who can answer your questions best.
