It really depends on what you were convicted of, the reason for your violation, and how tough your PO is. All that being said, a whole year has gone by, so I'd say that you stand a very good chance of having your probation revoked. This is a major violation.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised you haven't been arrested, because I would think there's a warrant out there somewhere. If not, turning yourself in is still a good idea. You've probably made quite a mess of things here, and whatever you can do to clean it up quickly or more easily, you need to do it.
Please, try and talk to an attorney in your area first. You need someone familiar with your state's law and procedure, because it differs from state to state, and I don't have all the facts of your case. One place to find counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
You're going to have to explain why you've been missing for so long. If there isn't a good reason, you may be better off saying so, and admitting that you made a mistake. Whatever you do, do not lie about this! Just controlling the impulse to try and b.s. your way through this will help you, most of the time.
