QUESTION
Will I still be able to get a green card if I got a misdemeanor as a minor?

More details to this question:
I got a misdemeanor as a minor for graffiti. I didn’t have to go to court and I just did 20 of community service instead of paying the $200 dollars. That was my option.

There are special rules for juveniles. A singular minor event like that, where not charged or prosecuted as an adult, should not be a problem.

You will want to review the full criminal record with an attorney prior to filing for a greencard.

Minor crimes committed and convicted under juvenile laws do not affect your eligibility for a green card.
