Recently, while I was walking hope drunk after a night at a local bar, fell asleep on a bus stop, and was subsequently was arrested for "public intoxication," which is ironic because I walked home specifically to avoid a potential DUI charge. This happened in California, USA.
I have hired a criminal defense attorney to dismiss this misdemeanor charge, as this my first criminal charge.
If everything works out, and I get my charge dismissed, my "dismissed" charges unfortunately will still appear in my FBI CBC--it will say "No Disposition" rather than "No Arrest Record Found". So, technically I will still have a criminal record.
So, my question is:
1) Will Japan deny me employment even if my charges were dismissed (non-conviction)?
2) Does anyone know someone that is working with a misdemeanor/minor criminal record? Or have heard anecdotes/stories of people who have?
3) "Applications with criminal records will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis." This is stated on the JET website. However, does anyone know people who actually still got hired and worked in Japan?
I feel like I f***ed up so hard on something so stupid. I am senior at a university planning, and have been planning, to work in abroad for the past 3 years and I feel like I royally screwed up my life. Any help and even anecdotal evidence will help me immensely. Advice from people with similar experience will be much appreciated. Thank you.
