    Default International Travel With A Criminal History

    Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated

    Background:
    *Class B misdemeanor (theft in grocery store) (Texas)
    *(>$20 less than $500)
    *12 years ago when I was 17 years of age. Sentenced when 18
    *Received sentence of deferred adjudication.
    *40 hours community service
    *6 months probation
    *Complied with all fines, community service, etc.
    *No further encounters with law enforcment
    *Renewed my LPR (Green Card) w/Biometrics 2 years ago with no issues.

    This was a mistake i made as a teenager. Now my job requires me to travel internationally.

    My primary concern currently is cases (exclusions?) that would not allow the US to let me back in the country even though i have been a permenant resident for the past 27+ years.

    Understand this is a crime of moral turpitude, but would it cause issues at entry back in the US, and when i apply for my US Citizenship? Read that i would not have issues since the sentence is less than 1 year, and it occurred when i was 17.

    Just want to some advice, since i have ready some entries where people have had serious issues.

    Thank you in advance,

    NP

    I expect it would be resolved under the "petty offense exception" to crimes of moral turpitude. I can't make guarantees, as I don't control the actions of the Department of Homeland Security.
