    Default How to Go Now After Charged with Petty Theft

    Here's my story

    Im a tourist here and an employer petition me for working visa last December and until now its still in request for evidence, But it is embarrass to say that i was charged with petty theft but the police and i did not go to police station for finger print and mug shoot, the police just gave me a ticket. i hired a criminal lawyer and he manage to get down the charges down to infarction (like regular speeding ticket) if i finished a 40 hr community service and theft class. I already finished the community service and now im starting the theft class and will finished by end of april. however the next court date is on June but my i-94 will expire on May.

    Here's my questions

    1. Will it affect my pending working visa petition?

    2. What are the ways to extend my visa here? Is is better to change my status to student visa or just extended my tourist visa? so that I can still be here for the next court date

    3. If i would choose to change my status to student, is it possible to do that since I have a working visa petition on process?

    4. Guys help me i really need your advice especially an advice from the lawyer..

    Thank you very much
