Hello,

I am a full-time (4-years) exchange student from Europe on a F-1 Visa who is graduating in 2 weeks and leaving the United States.
I currently have a court date for a pending simple possession/paraphernalia charge which is my first offense. I was wondering that if I do plead guilty and agree to pay the fine in full if this would have consequences for international travel or me trying to find a job internationally.
The public defender seems as lost as me with this case cuz he never had to deal with the law of nations. My advisor told me to seek assistance by an immigration lawyer but I cannot afford such services.
I would be happy for any advice concerning this matter since I am quite worried about my future
