My daughter (25) is applying for her citizenship and is asking how to answer questions 23-26. At 17 she was arrested for public intoxication. I can remember paying a fine, and then later getting her record expunged. She graduated from college with 2 degrees (her second with a 4.0), and has been working as an RN for 18 months. I don't think she needs to be concerned with being turned down for citizenship for bad character, since this happened 8 years ago and she is now a contributing member of US society! But how should she answer the questions? 23. Have you been arrested....Yes. 24 Have you ever been charged with committing a crime or offense - is PI a crime or an offense, I assume Yes? 25 Have you convicted, again this is Yes? 26 Alternative sentencing - she didn't go to jail - just paid a fine. So is this alternative sentencing? and Yes?
Thanks for any help......
