Me and my wife were charged with misdemeanor child abuse and the case was subsequently dismissed. Can we be inadmissible the next time we enter US?

Since the case was dismissed, it is my opinion that you would not be inadmissible on your next entry to the U. S., especially if the circumstances are that you only left your children alone at home for 25 minutes. Please note, however, that many nonimmigrant visas are discretionary, and if you have to apply for one, the episode might be held against you. Please also note that you must disclose any arrests on visa applications. If you are applying under the visa waiver program, the question may be easier for as the ESTA application questions the seriousness of the arrest or conviction.
