Sounds like a good call to me.
Yes, it is a crime of moral turpitude (regardless of the stolen good's value). Even in travelling under the VWP, a visitor would still be required to get an ESTA beforehand. One of the questions asked on the ESTA is if you were convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. You must answer honestly. In your case, it is highly probable that an ESTA, and therefore entry under the VWP would be denied.
(in the US) Importuning is NOT a crime of moral turpitude.
no. crimes of moral turpitude perminantly exclude you from USA
I cannot think of a single one. The crime of rape is heinous offense and a crime of moral turpitude in every state. .
These crimes are oftentimes referred to as 'crimes of moral turpitude' but (in the US) there are no statutes that include a separate (or an enhanced) charge for being "heinous" crimes.
Only if its not to keep the person in the US. Anyone feel free to expand.
Yea, it is possible for a felon of moral turpitude who came legally on F-1, who is now on order of supervision, adjust his status after being married to a US citizen. In order for the individual to regain the ability to enter the US they would have to petition for a waiver. If accepted for the waiver the individuals spouse can then sponsor them for US citizenship.
No. The visa itself is granted/denied OVERSEAS in the country in which your fiance(e) resides. http://www.dixonimmigration.com/index.php?pid=2
File for a fiance(e) visa for the person and marry her/him once s/he gets the visa and comes to the US. After marrying, file for adjustment of status. And once he/she enters the USA with the fiance/ee visa, you have to marry him/her within 90 days.
The same rules apply to denying a Filipino as to anyone else who applies for visa, particularly if one has been convicted of a crime, here or abroad, has resided in the US illegally and so on.
: What is a crime of moral turpitude?: A crime of moral turpitude would include such crimes as fraud, theft, housebreaking, kidnapping, robbery, murder, arson, forgery, rape or sexual assault. Certain other crimes are not crimes of moral turpitude, for instance, impaired driving. Crimes such as simple assault, causing a disturbance or joyriding are not crimes of moral turpitude. Even manslaughter, in most instances, is not a crime of moral turpitude. An individual convicted of such a crime is not excludable as long as he or she has no other convictions or his or her total sentences do not exceed five years. However, where an offence involves some element of reckless conduct, such conduct may constitute a crime of moral turpitude. Close examination of the statutory provision is necessary, but in Canada these may include dangerous driving and criminal negligence causing death. : Single crime exception-crimes of moral turpitude: See s. 212(a)(2)(A)(ii) The single crime of moral turpitude exception applies when the offence is punishable by a year or less and the sentence imposed does not exceed six months. Another single crime exception applies to offences committed when a person is under the age of 18 as long as five years has elapsed from the date the sentence was completed. The single offence exception does not appear to apply to convictions for two or more offences, even when they arise out of the same incident. The single crime exception does not apply to drug convictions at all. However, it is not clear whether an individual may be entitled to both exceptions, that is, one minor crime and one crime committed under the age of 18 years. source: http://www.golishlaw.com/crimlawt/usinaddm.htm If you had less than one ounce in your possession than it is NOT a crime of moral turpitude (thank goodness) as of 2000. Can't remember the reference but you can look for the same question at yahoo answers to find the specifics.
This depends. The US has a 'List of crimes of Moral Turpitude' that it consults when deciding whether to permit entry to an individual with a criminal record. This list includes offences such as murder, rape, forgery, prostitution and fraud. If you have a criminal record that is included in the list, and this record is discovered by US customs, you risk arrest, seizure of your assets, possible incarceration, and a lifetime ban from entering the United States. That said, if you committed a crime not considered to be of moral turpitude, you will most likely not encounter difficulties entering the US (although I make no promises). If you have committed a crime of moral turpitude and wish to travel to the US, you can apply for what is known as a US entry waiver. Once granted, this waiver will allow you to legally travel in the US for a specified time period (usually 1-5 years). Hope this helps!
