I got a job offer from a credit union in California but I have to do a fingerprint(livescan).My question is will my arrest show? How do I know if I was convicted? Are they going to rescind the offer? Please help. Thank you!

You were arrested and some "immigration judge" allowed you to depart the country in which the crime was allegedly committed? Which country? Normally, in state or federal courts in the U.S. at least, it is next to impossilbe to be convicted "in absentia". Thus I have to ask: how can you not know whether you were convicted?

This happened in Hawaii and went back home to Philippines but now back to the States when husband petitioned me. That's my question, I don't know if I am really convicted of the charges. In my removal papers it says that the immigration judge determined that me, the respondent is found ineligible to stay in the US and she granted me Voluntary Departure. Does that mean I was convicted of committing fraud?

I'm worried that this might show up on the fingerprint report that I am actually convicted of the crime and the job offer will get rescinded.

Most likely yes it will show up, and of course on the application it said to tell them, did you lie on application also.

It may also depend on managements view point of immigration fraud

Thank you all for your replies. I answered "No" on the application asking "Have you ever been arrested... ( do not include arrest that have not resulted in conviction).
Since I wasn't sure if I was convicted or not, answered no.
