So I hear everyone say we need a clear CBC in order to be approved with a visa. Previous I was able to get around it with another state I lived in. But now with the national cbc requirement, I might be screwed. I planned on staying SK for 3 yrs...but now might be on my way out. Pretty upset about it....

I have something on there that was dismissed. However because the judge was running for office and wanted to slogan himself as " hard on crime" he wouldn't proclaim my innocence and of course gave me probation, and I was clear. Of course....

Anyway will Immigration give visa approval with a dismissed charge on it?

I've heard of this happening with MIP's or DUI's....

Any experience?? Advice?

Typically they will deny ANY and EVERY application that does NOT have a clear
CBC. They are also facing a "get tough on criminals" situation.

China, Japan, Taiwan and you can still get away with a state check rather than a national one.

In many cases they are not required for Japan or China (depends on the province/region).

Is FBI different than a national check? I remember getting a state and a national and it was on there...

Get a pardon, it will expunge your record.

talk to a lawyer, if it was a while ago and some stupid mistake if you explain you situation you may be able to get it expunged and get a clean record. All this will take a good amount of time though.

First see if anything even shows up. The National check may actually show less than some state checks! Second, you can go for one without needing a national check as long as you do it soon. I don't think you need to plan 3 years in advance. Just take a one year contract for right now.
