回复：有犯罪记录但是需要重新申请签证

大家好,我去年十一月的时候因为在一家商店偷东西(大概90美元)被逮捕,后来经过律师帮忙减轻到disturbing the peace的conviction,请问这种情况下我还可以申请美国签证么?
- Since you have been in the states, it does not hurt your current F-1 status. In the case, a visa is irrelevant.

我现在是学生,近期不打算回国,但是以后签证的时候会有影响么?
- Probably positive, since you had been arrested/charged/convicted and thus to answer "Yes" to DS-156 38(a).
