A conviction for breach of the peace is not going to stop you traveling on an I-94 "visa."  All you have to do is be nice to the immigration officer when you get here (unless you go through Dublin, in which case you clear immigration there.)\n\nCall the embassy.  If you are in the Uk there is a premium rate line you can call.  Trust me, it is worth the money.

1) Where are you travelling from - Abroad or just outside London\n2) Was the offence in the UK or abroad\n\nWithout knowing this we can't answer properly but, unless there are still outstanding warrants out on you, you should be fine.\n\nOf course if the crimes were in the UK and there are still warrants out they will let you in, and escort you to the nearest police station

Any alien in the US who is convicted of a crime of domestic violence is deportable. Whether a given crime, even one called "domestic abuse" or "domestic violence", qualifies as a crime of domestic violence for immigration purposes depends on the specific wording of the d.v. law. If the conviction was for an aggravated felony, then the alien is deportable. If the conviction was for a crime involving moral turpitude with a possible sentence of more than 1 yr, then the alien is deportable. To find out if a conviction counts, talk to an immigration atty.

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.

Depending on the crime, he/she could get deported. A speeding ticket may not be enough, but assault, child abuse etc. will get the person deported.

Not necessarily.  If you are on parol or probation and prohibited from traveling, you will not be issued a US passport.  Also, if you owe outstanding child support, you will not be issued one.  Just because you are a convicted felon, does not automatically preclude you from travelling abroad, but each country has its own guidelines for issuing visas.  As it was mentioned in a previous reply, Canada will deny visa for any criminal history - but if you are from US, you don't need visa or passport to enter.

It is a crime for noncitizens to _enter_ the U.S. without a visa, so by implication, it is a crime to _be_ in the U.S. without a visa.

Sure! if you can stomach being placed in prison for being apolitical dissident.\nor the other thing that could happen is that you will be shot on sight. \nThat is if you were even allowed through the border!\nI once took a bus through Romania, and the border patral told me not to get off the bus at ALL. I didnt even realize that i might have been the only American on the bus. Also they charged me about 35 $ to pass through

yes you can visit other countries , and yes you can get a passport at almost any post office..if you are a convict, still under-sentence, (probation or parole), you,ll have to get permission to leave the country from your PO..other wise there are no restrictions, that i,m aware of, i was convicted of several felonies years ago...and paid my debt, years later...since i,ve been traveling so much ,I,ve logged enough miles in the past 12 months to circle the earth 4 times..OK, and have fun in the philippeans

By using the term "mates", I get the impression that you might be from Australia or the U.K.  Here in the U.S., many states have procedures that allow someone convicted of a crime to petition the court to have the conviction removed from their record.  The exact procedures and requirements vary by state, by they usually require you to file a petition with the court and you generally must have a clean record since the conviction.\n\nIf the conviction occurred before you became an adult, it might automatically be sealed.  However, laws to vary by jurisdiction.  Best wishes with your efforts.

Remember that a passport is a document that merely identifies you as a citizen and requests safe passage through other countries.  To the extent that you're no longer bound not to travel by the terms of your probation, I don't know why you couldn't travel.  Now, I'm not sure another country would necessarily have to let you IN (you might want to check with the State Department and/or the Russian embassy/consulate to be sure), but nothing should prevent you from getting a passport.

My brother works for the prison system and he said they WILL go to jail in the U.S. but eventually be deported to their country of origin. I don't know if they will be sent to another jail there or simply sent back.... sorry.

Your question was a little unclear.  What I think you mean to ask is can he leave one state where he is incarcerated to face charges in another state.  If that's the question the answer generally is that the new or open charges in another state generally will wait until you are done with your present committment and then instead of releasing you, they transfer you to the other jurisdiction.  If this was not exactly the question, ask again more specifically.

If your country considers the failure to pay a criminal matter and it has an extradition treaty with the U.S.A., then you can be deported. If the failure to pay is a civil matter, then I am not sure what the consequences would be for you.

The restraints placed on a convicted felon are called "Felon Disenfranchisement Laws" and they vary from state to state.  \n\nYou can check with the US passport office, but unless things have changed since 9/11 there was not any restriction on felons getting a passport or leaving the US, BUT the country you want to go to might have restrictions on you ENTERING their country if you are a Felon.  \n\nYou should have received documents from the court and from the Prison outlining what you can and cannot do.  Such as carry a weapon, consort with other felons or vote.  \n\nYou should contact your state's Board of Pardons and Paroles for more information.
