Jul 16, 2014 at 10:59 comment added Jay Thank all of you for your answers. At next step I wanted to minimize risk of being stopped and sent back and tried to search whether I am eligible for entry. That is what I found on travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/…. There are some exceptions for being found ineligible for entry to U.S on criminal grounds. Exception comes for cases, when maximum penalty possible for the crime of which the alien was convicted did not exceed imprisonment for one year and if alien is sentenced less than 6 month period. I am not sure whether is it my case (400 USD fine)?
