Hi,

I've been eligible to apply for US citizenship for a year but I've waited to be done with a 1 yr probation for "Interference with police (didn't follow officer orders)", a misdemeanor. The case was a deferred sentenced (guilty plea removed after probation and case will be dismissed)...another note was that I recieved a citation for disturning the peace while on probation but the case was dismissed outright....My question is, is it ok to apply for citizenship after my probation and the deferred sentence is over, or should i wait 2 yrs more? i have been here since 1999 (since I was 14) and this is my only offense. My entire family has gotten their US citizenship this past year, besides me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
I would apply, but make sure you read every question and answer 110% honestly. You should be okay as long as you are honest with CIS. Both of your arrests are not CIMT's, so you will be ok.
