Can children whose parents have criminal records study abroad?

Legal analysis: Usually, the father has a criminal record, which has no influence on the student's study visa. Because the visa officer will not look at the applicant's parents' situation when studying abroad, he will only look at the parents' financial proof, so it will not affect the children's study in the United States.

Legal basis: Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 275 If a person was under the age of 18 at the time of committing a crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, his criminal record shall be sealed.

If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
