My question involves criminal law for the state of: Indiana
I'm currently a student on F-1 Visa in the US. I was caught trying to steal an item worth $20 from a store. The store manager called the Mall Security and the police. The police came in and the store manager told him that she needs a trespass notice for me for the next one year. The police took down my name, address, phone number, height, weight, eye color. I asked the police officer if I would have to disclose this as a criminal offence in my future job applications, he said I don't have to and that I was lucky. I am banned from the mall area for one year.
I want to know if this is going to haunt me in the future. I intend to get a job through work visa and apply for a green card within the next 3 years. Will this incident make them deny my application because I had not shown the behavior traits of a potential good citizen?
I have not been asked to appear on court. Will this appear in background checks by my future employers (retail stores)? Will this prevent the Immigration Department from granting me a work visa?
I completely regret trying to steal from the store, for all that it matters. I am only concerned about my future. Please help me with informative advice.
