You will have a difficult time obtaining any visa. Your criminal conviction wil be considered a conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude. Your conviction may also be considered an aggravated feeling under United Stares immigration law depending upon the amount of money involved. You would need a waiver to obtain any visa. I would encourage you to consult an attorney before applying for any visa.
