-In 2007 I was not convicted I received a conditional discharge
-I was 18 at the time..
-it was theft under
-1 year probation which was completed
- I have had a record check done for my current job and it came back clean
-I am currently writing a letter to the charging police agency to have a file destruction of prints and photographs (as that's the procedure I was told)
-I have recently obtained a job in an international organizationa and may be required to travel to the US for training at head office
-My boyfriend is living in the states as well
-I have never set foot in the US
-I have never had a single parking violation/ticket of any type(no idea what that may effect)
Am I going to have ridiculous issues at the border when I cross, can/will I be denied?
Any thoughts or comments would be helpful as I have been losing sleep for a long time over this issue, especially since getting the job
*back story in case it would matter*
-I was with a friend - she dropped something in my purse(without me noticing)
- we were greeted by store security and had to wait for police
- needless to say we haven't spoken since 2007
- I plead guilty as I felt I could have prevented it
(we had gone out shopping after I got off work, I had my work purse which was more or less a zip up totebag with a back pouch that stuck together where I'd put things for easy access i.e.. Wallet, water bottle, gum, car keys. When we entered I oddly enough had my wallet in my hand instead which is not normal for me but it was a quick in and out visit, to buy a case of water on sale. I felt as though I could have prevented it and presented an opportunity for her to do this, she was also caught with perfume etc on her... she practically raided the god damn store and took me down with her.)
