misdemeanor problem - could I get a visa?

[Vasya]

I'm student from Ukraine, last summer I was arested in USA for shoplifting - it was a misdemeanor but I didn't plead guilty in the court , I paid 470$ fine and after ending of my visa I went home to Ukraine. I woud like to get J-1 or other visa again - please tell me is it possible for me now after all? Do I have to wright that I was in crime when I will be going to embassy again?
Please answere me its wery important for me.
Thanks

I dont think there would be any problem. This is ofcourse dependant upon the VISA officer to issue you a VISA or not.But you can try never the less.
