Legal Question in Immigration Law in Louisiana

I got arrested for shoplifting (misdemeanor case b). I am in Louisiana with an A2 visa. I talked to my lawyer and he said he will have the case taken care and the records expunged. I didnt even have to go to court. My question is, will this affect me if i want to renew my A2 visa? Will the records show up in immigration? If they do is there anything my lawyer or i can do to get it expunged out of the immigration records to?

You will always need to answer "yes" that you have been arrested for immigration purposes and disclose the arrest and the expungment. You will want to have an immigration attorney review the court records to advise you if you will have future issues in reentering the US.
