If it is a conviction it will never go away. And, if you were convicted of the offense you will not be eligible to have it expunged or sealed. Unfortunately, it is there forever. Your only option is to contact an appellate lawyer and consult with him/her as to whether or not you might have a shot in a post conviction proceeding called a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Being granted relief on the writ will not totally solve your problem. But, it will be a step in the right direction.
