What state do you live in? Honestly you should not have to file anything because all juvenile records should be sealed.  You should speak to the county clerk's office at the courthouse where you live.

A used to work for a background screening company, and I know for a fact that some companies don't even want to know about criminal records for an applicant if it is less than a felony.\n\nMost companies are going to have you fill out an application, and there will be a spot on the form where they ask you about that sort of thing. But read the fine print, it may ask you to omit certain things (usually traffic-related stuff, sometimes drug misdemeanors over 2 years old, etc).\n\nUnless they have asked you about it or it is implied that you should've already brought it to their attention, I wouldn't bring it up. That's a judgement call, obviously, but you don't want to sound like you think it might disqualify you from consideration. (Be confident!)

depends on how in-depth the check is.  If they are only looking for felonies, the miosdo won't show.  But, if they do an entire crimianl background check, then obviously it'll show.  If the application question only asked for felonies, you answered corrrectly, and they ahould not be able to hold that against you (so long as you have a decent story behind it - either a funny one or one that down plays the severity of it.).  \n\nthere are a couple of checks that employers use: the DMV, the local police records at your local precinct (& sometimes surrounding areas), or the full blown FBI type searches.  FBI is most srintgent search, pretty much everythign shows up, DMV mostly driving related charges, and the local precinct only shows arrests (all) made in that area.

you might as well explain ahead of time.  if they look up your record and see something was on there, even though it was pardoned, it will make you look dishonest.\n\nthis happened to me in court.  i was detained by the police, but never arrested and in court the "arrest record" appeared.  i could honestly say i was never arrested or charged with anything, but it made me look dishonest in court, even though i was not.  i forgot to tell my attorney about the incident as it was ten years ago and i wasn't charged.\n\njust best to come clean ahead of time.

Of course it is still on your criminal record so it will follow you for life.  But on applications or anything like that don't leave it off when it asks if you've been convicted of a crime.  If you don't put it on there and a company hires you they can fire you if they find out.  Just be honest and if they ask, explain the situation.

u have to pay to get that information but employers get it through a nationwide search. some just go by what u tell them. employers pay a fee when they do criminal record checks worldwide. but if u want to pay for that info. all u have to do is go to website that tell u about a background check. when i did it i had to pay 49.00 dollars and that was one thing that came up employment background

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

you have to get copy of police record and then contact the city district attorney for more advice. I know when i did this for b/f 10 years ago..a letter was sent with record to the governor asking for expungement..but i forget exactly how we went about it...we broke up shortly after, so im unsure. =(  wish i could help more

There really isn't one. Felonies are in a nationwide database; that means you can call any law enforcement office and they can check for warrants anywhere else as long as you have the correct name and date of birth. Some misdemeanors are in the database but not all. This means you have to call the local police department where the alleged crime occured and have them check for a warrant.

No!  You completed a diversion, and part of that priviledge is not having to report misdemeanors on job applications.  Because you completed a diversion, you DON'T HAVE a misdemeanor.

depending on the job you are applying for, No. Some jobs might run a criminal background check anyway to see. Misdemeanors are minimal when it comes to job placement.

First off, in some states certain misdemeanor crimes prevent you from owning or having weapons for a period of 10 years. Second, some states also require that you have to apply for your weapons back through the state Department of Justice office. They will perform a background check and either OK or nix your application. \n\nLastly, you are a convicted criminal. You were convicted of a crime. It doesn't matter if it was a misdemeanor or a felony.

you could have a bench warrant placed for your arrest, I would show up if I was you, you know you don't have to incriminate yourself though don't you? just be truthful, answer what they ask and you should be fine, if you don't know, say so.

If you have paid the fine, you can send a letter to the judge to "motion" that the misdemeanor record be sealed.  It will be up to the judge to decide if that is appropriate in your case.  I would also send letters of support from friends, family and employers on your character and that you have not violated the law since then.

This is a real problem. If you are in the country illegally and you apply for citizenship you may be deported and told to apply from outside the US. Then you misdemeanor will come out and you may be classified as an undesirable. If you are arrested in the US say at a worksite, etc. you will be deported and since you were found in the country as an illegal will not be granted a visa.\nYou need to talk to a good immigration lawyer to get his advice on how to proceed. There may be some way to apply for an exemption but you need to see what to do before anything happens.

No.... even if you get it expunged.. you would have to report it on your application.  And if you lie and put no, they will eventually find out and you will get bounced and maybe charged criminally.
