I doubt that these can be expunged even in the North. |

You can live, work and get a work visa in Mexico without a doubt. 
No background checks or even drug tests of any kind south of the border.  |
Perhaps not for Immigration that is true, but it is NOT trus for many schools, or goverment agencies that you might want to work for. |
Really?
I don't know of any foreigners working for the Mexican Public Education Ministry (SEP) and the only schools that pull a background check in Mexico might be a handful of "international" high schools in the Mexico City area.
Outside of those 2 small areas, Mexico is wide-open. No background checks, drug tests or even employer reference checks (Been here six long years, I have taught in 3 colegios, as well as multiple language schools and business classes, nobody has ever checked or verified my background, credentials, education etc. )
Language schools: No background checks
Business classes: No background checks
Private colegios (K-12 institutes): No background checks (The vast majority of them, over 90%)
To the OP, if you need more info PM me. |

Thanks for your help everyone.
I have run Rhode Island background checks on myself before and they have always come up clean. Though I've never had a federal check done.
Does anyone know if expunged records still show up in FBI checks? |
If you are not in RI, and have nothing to hide, just walk up to any police officer on patrol (who is not busy and doesn't look like he will tear your head off) and politely ask for him to run a NCIC/background check on you. You can also go into any police station and request the same. The check will say if you have any outstanding issues as well as convictions
which can be accessed by the FBI. |

Actually an NCIC check often turns up more things than what an official background check might.
Its not that the FBI doesn't know about your conviction, its just that they only provide certain information depending on the type of check. I doubt that an expunged conviction would show up on a check, although the arrest might.
My own arrest for DUI shows up on a background check from the FBI, even though I was acquitted of the offense.... One would think that an acquittal would trump an expunged record.... It does show that I was acquitted, but the information is still there.
As for the NCIC, it has all kinds of info in it. The idea is that a patrol cop should know who they are dealing with, regardless of the outcome of the case. Even if you were able to beat 5 subsequent murder charges, for example, while none of those charges may appear on an official background check, the patrol cop would still be able to learn about them.
Cops assume that people who were charged were guilty and that the judge or jury simply made a bad decision. |

Not just work visas, but any resident visa. Ironically, they don't ask for anything for citizenship  BUt I'm pretty sure they're looking for sex crimes, drugs, murders, etc. |

| Back in the 90s an ex-US friend (RIP) of mine was deported from Korea for punching a policeman in the face. He was working for the Korea Times then. A year later he returned without any difficulties and after a year or two as a teacher at a hogwan was employed by the Korean government's EPIK programme for five years. During his time as an EPIK teacher he got into trouble with the police a few times, including punching one guy's teeth out in a brawl. His contracts were always renewed without any problem. |

While true they do have you go to the PNP INTERPOL office, an INTERPOL check is not a full-fledged US criminal records check. It is simply a check of INTERPOL databases to see if you have a warrant out on you that has been reported to INTERPOL (i.e. Red Notice). They do not have access to arrest / conviction records. |

| Have you ever considered just getting a background check by the FBI to check? Sure it'll cost you a few bucks, but at least this way you'll know if you have something in your federal jacket. |
