My question involves an Bench warrant from the State of PA:
Hello,
I was a resident in the US from 1994 to Summer 2002. I was charged with a misdeminor theft charge Category M3 in Pennsylvania in 2001. In January of 2002 I entered a plea to enter into the PA ARD Programm ( First Offender Programm, length 2 years, thereafter record will be deleted). After entering into the Programm I moved to Florida. Since at the same time I got divorced I decided to go back to Germany to visit my family, during my visit I decided that I did not want move back to the US. I live and work now since August 2002 back in my Homecountry Germany. I surrendered my Green Card (permanent resident card in 2002 to the US Embassy in Frankfurt. I also had send a letter to the ARD Programm letting them know I had moved back to Germany (also in 2002).
Well last month I was on a business trip to central america with a stop in Miami this requires entry into the us, which was denied to me, I was told I have a misdeminor charge which involves moral turpitute ! Anyway after 6 hour interview with Homeland security I was allowed to enter the US under Parole section 212 which allowed me to catch a plane home instead of being deported.
Doing some research and being scared to death after my encounter with HC I found my public record in PA.
This is was has happened:
1. In february 2003 the DA filed to be removed from the ard programm
2. In march 2003 the judge issued a bench warrant for FTA for Trial, bond forfeited US 1 Dollar.
My question know is how can I get this resolved while living in Germany and who do I have to contact to have the bench warrant removed ?
Wanted to mention that I do have no intention to move back to the states but business requires me to travel thru there now and then.
thanks a lot for your help in advance
