I am not familiar with the laws and restrictions of ny.

But perhaps you could look into getting some soft of promissary note. Like you promise to return within 3 days and will not leave the country.

Although I am thinking now, why are you going to AZ for colleges? If you are on probation for 3 years, would that not mean you are grounded in NY for the next 3 years? In which case, the college info from AZ will be quite different in 3 yrs time.

It is completely up to your probation officer, if he say you can't go, you can't go.

Next what is the purpose of the visit, to find a college to attend ???

If he won't let you go for a visit, do you think he will let you go to attend college there ?

Welcome to probation, you had better do what he says, or he will get you picked up and put back in jail for violation of parole, then you have a hearing some weeks latter normally to see if you get to stay on probation or if you go to do the sentence in jail.

Probation is like this, it is a jail term, if you have three years on probation and get it revolked, you will serve the remainder of the 3 years ini jail.
