    Default Tourist Charged With Theft - Can I Come Back For A Holiday

    Im Irish, and two years ago in New York I was charged with a misdemeanor theft(Retail theft $54).Unfortunately I couldnt afford to come back at that time for the court date, so I presume its still outstanding. How can I sort this and and just wondered if I can ever visit the US again for a holiday?

    Thanks

    Since you failed to take care of this matter - in all probability, there is a outstanding warrant for your arrest. It's likely if you try to enter the U.S. this will be discovered. If discovered, either you will be detained or denied entry.

    Thank you for your reply. Im going to try sort this out before I go crazy. Any lawyer I spoke to at the time were looking for between 3- 5000 dollars and I didnt have that kind of money. Iam now in a better financial position so will go from here.

    You need to find a US Attorney to discuss the matter with and how to resolve it. Since you had a court date and failed to appear a warrant was likely issued. If you want to avoid being denied entry or arrest upon entry into this country you will require the services of an Attorney

    Thank you. I will seek an attorney now. I wouldnt attempt a return visit otherwise.
    Iam so ashamed of myself. Have been to the US so many times over the years, My children are begging to go back to Orlando and I cant keep making excuses.

    Thank you all
