I am having Class B Misdemeanor shoplifting charge in Utah. I talked to Immigration lawyer, he said Plea in abeyance is conviction in INS eye. And I am thinking to reduce the charge to disorderly conduct which will be better. The lawyer explain me there is two type of disorderly conduct, one is Class C Misdemeanor, another one is disorderly conduct infraction. He said Class C Misdemeanor is still CMIT, but disorderly conduct infraction should not be CMIT. I should not get deported if I get disorderly conduct infraction.
Is it true?
Anyone help me to clearify the difference.
