    Question Public Intoxication By A Minor

    hi i was hoping someone could help,i visited santa barbara,ca last summer and got arrested for public intoxication,false information to the police and resisting arrest.i was 20 at the time and still a minor.i went to court and paid for court time etc and was told by the public defender that it would be on my permanent record.as i am from ireland,dont live in the US and was over on a j1 visa this didnt really effect me.however i plan on applying for another j1 working visa this summer and was wondering if the public intoxication charge would affect my chances of getting another one?or will it be overlooked because it was a misdemeanor,i resolved things in court..any advice/knowledge on this matter would be greatly appreciated,thanks jack.

    Conviction of a misdemeanor does not automatically doom your chances for future visas. However, granting the visa will be at the sole discretion of the immigration officer who handles your application.

    You'd be well advised to consult with a good immigration attorney before applying for another visa.

    You were convicted only of public intoxication, or also of lying to the police and resisting arrest?
