For all I know the background check is only done in California to get the PTAL and only includes problems you had with the law in the US, so if this fight happened in your homecountry I don't think they will care much about that. I might be wrong though but this is what I have seen. Take care and good luck!
From reading the initial post, I'm pretty sure this fight didn't happen in his home country. He meant he got a misdemeanor in the US...

I think you can seal your file, once it is sealed you have the legal right to deny any history related to felonies.. It was a fight in a bar, well I guess you can seal that easily with the help of an attorney.

I didn't know someone could seal their records. That would be awesome and i'd pay whatever i needed to get that done so i don't have to ever explain this. Since it's a misdemeanor, it shouldn't be as big of a deal but i am from california and i plan on doing my residency here so that is definitely something i need to look into.
If i were to seal my records does that just allow me to deny the misdemeanor or completely clear it off my record if a background check is done? I mean, even if it's sealed and a background check is done that wouldn't do me any good if it still pops up.
Yeah, i wish this had happened in afghanistan. For all i know, they don't even keep records there and something as simple as a street fight would be the last thing the authorities there get worried about.

It is possible to have it "sealed", "removed" whatever. especially if it's a minor crime committed when you were young. You do need to contact an attorney though for him to advice you on how to proceed with it. Then once it's done, you don't have to mention the history ever again.

I am a U.S. citizen and been living here almost my entire life so i don't think i need to worry about visa issues. But nonetheless, i wanna get this record off cause i don't even wanna have to talk about it if it ever comes up.
