There are an unfortunate number of Chinese students who come into contact with the criminal justice system for offenses such as drunk driving, shoplifting, traffic offenses, domestic assault, and others. Often the reason is cultural; the way the infraction is treated in China is different than in Michigan and there is an assumption the issue will be handled similarly here. Sometimes the reasons are due to depression or other psychological issue. Often, it is simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When a Chinese student faces such an issue, the number one considerations should be: how is this going to affect me and how to I get the best possible outcome. Often the student does not realize that the issue could cause problems with their ability to remain in the United States, On occasion, a Chinese student may decide to leave the United States to visit family or friends or vacation, and is not permitted to return due to a prior criminal conviction. A criminal conviction can affect a chinese student’s ability to adjust their non immigrant status to allow them to continue in the United States after graduation.
