What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I have bench warrant and misdemeanor charges in CA pending since 2004.
10K bail is set. I live in the UK and want to visit US to appear in court.

Will I be arrested in airport on arrival?

My visitor B visa has annotation "to attend
court hearings", for I informed London Consulate, which gave
me this visa, about the case.
I am landing exactly in the county where warrant and charges were filed.
I can't get any reply from consular workers, they are very secretive, nor
can I afford to spend any money on lawyers. Could you please give me advice?

really need advice. I am about to cancel the trip having
no reply from consular workers. The reason for my trip
is two my sons there whom I couldn't see due to 5.5. years!

If you are going back to appear in court, why does it matter whether or not they provide the transportation?

We cannot predict what will happen. It is possible you will be picked up. It is possible you won't.

Part of it would be knowing what the warrant was for.

it is misdemeanor domestic violence. Convenient part of divorce.

Thank you for reply
