Hi everyone,
I have recently been offered my dream job in the USA next year but after hours of reading, I am very dubious about my eligibility for the required J1 VISA. I am not a bad person but I have made mistakes that I believe poorly reflect who I am.
8 years ago - Aggravated Burglary and Assault occasioning bodily harm - $700 fine (spent conviction).
2 years ago - Aggravated Assault - $500 fine (criminal conviction).
Driving offenses including DUI - Licence suspension 6 months.
I have never committed a crime that resulted in a prison term.
From what I understand, a criminal conviction involving circumstances of aggravation puts that particular crime under the "crimes of moral turpitude category".
Can anybody please help shed some light on my realistic possibilities of being granted a J1 working VISA taking in to account my criminal history.
I'd really appreciate your help.
