Hello Everyone, I jsut wanted to thank you all for your comments and replies to my case. I would just like to give you a quick update. I had my interview this morning and I am approved for citizenship!! =) The interview actually went very smoothly...all the interviewer asked was if i...

I thought all the Petty theft have 6 months jail time for CA. I may be wrong. Evidences like what? All it says on my court report is: Apr ' 04 Misdemeanor Charge of 484(a) - 488 (c) PC Sep '04 Case Dismissed - Motion of People Dec '06 Case Closed

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California I was involved in petty theft of $110 worth of items in Mar 2004. I hired an attorney and we pleaded 'not guilty' and the case was dismissed. The court had me do 40 hours of voluntary service and i had to take some consultation...
