I was charged Criminal Trespass. At the court hearing I entered a 6-month "plea in abeyance" to the charge of trespassing as an infraction. After 6 months, if I have complied with the terms of the plea in abeyance, the case against me will be dismissed. I understand that I need to disclose this on DS 160. But I was wondering how this charge would affect my chance of getting my H-1B visa renewal. This is the only criminal record I have had for the 6 years I've been in the U.S.
