What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Hi, I am planning to come to USA for a holiday soon. 10 years ago, when I was an international student in Australia, I was caught jay walking in the city at 1 am when the streets was empty and got fined by the cops. I left Australia 9 years ago with an outstanding jaywalking fine. Do you reckon this has become a criminal offense? I am unsure if there is a warrant to my name due to this case. But I did not have any issues entering UK, Singapore and Japan for holidays during the recent years. The complicated part is that I heard US and Australia shares the criminal database, which is activated when my passport is scanned at the US airport. Will my passport get flagged at the US airport and will I get jailed or refused entry to USA because of my outstanding jaywalking fine? Lastly, my point is that since I was an international student in Australia, but I am from China and holding chinese passport and if I did not declare that I have went to Australia before, will the US immigration officers still check the Australia Criminal Database for records? I have outstanding jaywalking fines but I am unsure if i have warrant for it since I have not paid it or if I have criminal record for the outstanding jay walking fine. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
