H1 Visa Stamping after Being Charged with a Crime

Will a person have issues with H-1B Visa after being caught shoplifting?

There could be. Shoplifting is a crime involving moral turpitude. If the maximum POTENTIAL penalty for the offense is more than one year, the offense could make you inadmissible and you would need a waiver to get the H-1B visa. You definitely need to consult with an immigration attorney about your case who is experienced in criminal related immigration issues. You can also consult my legal guides regarding the immigration consequences of criminal pleas for background. The attorney does not need to be licensed in Georgia since immigration is federal in nature.
