Can I travel to South America with NY ACD and NJ Conditional Discharge.

Asked 5 months ago - New York, NY

Flag

I was put in the Conditional Discharge program in NJ for a simple MJ case (6months). I also have a ACD in NY for the same thing (1 year). I was planning to travel to South America for spring break and was wondering if this can be an obstacle. I am a U.S. citizen with no other issues. Do I need to carry court documents with me?

Thanks

If the ACD is still open that means it has not been dismissed and some countries don't let people in with open cases. I have had clients get turned away by Canada with open cases.

    For further information you should see an attorney and discuss the matter completely. If you are in the New York... more
