I am international student and was charged with family assault a class c misdemeanor, will that affect my reinstatement process

You need criminal defense and immigration experts. Assault with bodily injury family member is what it sounds like, not a Class C but Class A. It is a serious assault just short of felony. Family violence is very serious and damaging to immigration status.

The problem is that Assault by definition is classified as a Crime of Violence. Under section § 101(a)(43)(F) of the INA a crime of violence “for which the term of imprisonment is at least 1 year" is an Aggravated Felony. Aggravated Felonies are grounds for deportation. You need to hire an immigration attorney as soon as possible. Wish you luck.

Yes this will affect your reinstatement process and could cause you to be placed into removal (deportation) proceedings. You need a good criminal defense attorney and a good immigration attorney (yes both) to address this situation.
