can i re-enter the usa with a drug related criminal record.?
Hi. While i was doing an exchange program in the usa in 2008, i've been caught with 0.7 grams of weed in the giant sequoia national park. i've spent a night in jail, and been sentenced to pay a bill of roughly $250, by the federal court of fresno. i paid it, and left the usa a few days after, on my normal booked flight to come back to france. My question is: will there be any check from the border police and other customs agents that may prevent me to re- enter the us territory: - for short length stay - holidays - for long stays - work... if so, how long is the police able to prevent me from entering the usa - is there an expiration date for this kind of offenses? can i do anything to be granted pardon or something similar, so that my records get whitened? if no, what should i do if i still have to come to the us for, say emergencies or job reasons? lie on the green question sheet in the plane? thanks for responses and advices...

Your fine, it was not a felony. Heck we just let a known terrorist (the detroit terrorist) on our watch list enter the states today. Just to be sure go to the US Customs and Border Patrol website. Whatever you do don't lie on the sheet. If you were booked (photographed and finger printed) there will always be a record of your arrest with our data base. A good customs agent might discover the lie for a simple arrest and deny you entry.
