I am on student visa in US and I got felony diversion.Can anyone suggest what I can do for employment search.?

Question

The crime was Criminal use of financial card. I attended counseling and paid fine. The severity of crime was level 9, non person felony. I know I was not convicted becasue of diversion but I am concerned my arrest record may show up during background check. I live in nebraska and don't know if all employers would actually check for this. I am eligible for expungement after atleast 3 years from now. I appreciate any suggestions for how to proceed from here. I am in Biotech field.

Answer 1

Where was your crime? Those don't sound like American legal terms. Yes, it SHOULD show up on a background check, however, most American employers are too lazy to check outside of the country.

Answer 2

It'll show in a background check, it's a felony, plus it's a felony involving credit, which most companies frown upon now (and the reasons why most companies are now doing credit checks along with background checks).



And since you were convicted of the felony, you have to report it to the company that you are applying for, since that's a standard question on the application.



And there's no guarantees that the charge will be expunged in 3 years, that's a judges decision, not yours.



Oh - and I'm most certain you were convicted of the felony, the diversion program is just a diversion from incarceration, not conviction. If you were no convicted, you would have not had to pay the fine and go to counceling.
