I'm 22 and I have been here for 2 yrs.I have a green card but I'm not the citizen.This is my 1st time shoplifting and being caught.The stuffs worth 60 dollars.I don't have criminal record.But I got a ticket about subway fare evasion before.I'm gonna see the judge at 6/21/10.As I'm a immigrant,I don't know too much here.I'm so scared now.What do I have to do now?Do I have to go to jail?It's any way or can I do any community service to remove this record?Thank you for helping me.And I swear I will never do it again.

As a conviction could impact you rimmigration status here you need to consult an Attorney. When you do ask this Attorney about Diversion programs and if they are available in your case

Is the best solution that I keep my green card and have that record?

The "last" thing you want is a criminal record! A criminal conviction could have a negative impact on your green card status. Talk to an Attorney familar with both criminal and immigration law
