    Default Traveling While on Unsupervised Probation

    I have a 10 year green card. Recently had a charge of misdemeanor possession dismissed with unsupervised pre-trial probation expiring in February 2010, which is as good as not guilty according to my attorney.

    My question is, I would like to travel back to Brazil in November for a week. Would there be any problem coming back? Since there was nothing proving any guilt and the case was dismissed, should I be concerned?

    Default Re: Traveling While on Unsupervised Probation

    Did you in fact plead guilty? State on the record of the court facts constituting the offense? If so, the USCIS will regard that as a conviction.

    Still, if that's the only thing on your record, it's likely to fall under the petty offense exception so as not to interfere with your status. Note that this exception applies to your admissibility; if you were considering naturalization in the next 3-5 years, you also need to consider how this incident (which you will be required to disclose) might affect your petition.
