Not a lawyer, but a NYC resident who knows someone from overseas that had a legal problem.

For a check in the USA -- Alcohol offenses remain on your record for 10 years. "No contest" is treated like a "guilty" here, so it goes on your record. It will pop on a basic background check, like for work, until 10 years has gone by.

On an American federal check, like for passports or a professional license, it will last pretty much forever. They are very strict about it.

For India, it will depend if your background check person is very thorough about contacting the Americans for information. But it only costs $10 on the internet, if they have your American information, so it's better to be honest!

I hope that AA or some kind of therapy is helping you. Good luck! HC

What will happen during a OSHA inspection?

If an OSHA inspector finds a violation, it will be mentioned to management in the closing conference, unless it depends on air sampling results. Then the company may be notified by mail after the inspection. The citation will be reviewed by the OSHA Area or Regional Manager. If confirmed by OSHA management, a citation will be issued, with a proposed fine. The company may have an informal conference with OSHA to discuss whether the citation is justified and the proposed fine appropriate. The company also can file a formal notice of contest and contest the citation through Administrative Law Judges and even the civil courts. After the citation is final, the company must pay the fine and take whatever action is necessary to eliminate the violation and ensure it is not repeated.

You can get more contest backgrounds in Pokemon Pearl by choosing out your 'lucky' Pokemon and going to Jubilife City, then go to the Jubilife TV Station place and drawing out your ticket daily until you get a prize.
