    Naturalization with an Arrest for domestic violence but "Dismissed Charges" and "No Guilty Plea"

    Here maybe the tricky part: "has admitted sufficient facts to warrant a finding of guilty". The question is if the admission of sufficient facts has to be made in the crminal court. If the applicant admit such sufficient facts to the USCIS, then what will happen.

    Please help!!!

    Not sure. If the police come and temorarily deprived your freedom to move, then you were technically detained. On the other hand, if such things do not create a formal paper record of arrest or detention, we don't report it. And If you were really guilty, even if you were not arrested...
