Hello everyone, I am very depressed because I would like to apply for citizenship But I have a lot of questions since I was arrested. I went to my friends house because he owed me money. I sold him a car stero and some rims. He told me he was not going to pay me because he did not have money and to stop bothering him, it was more than $1,500 that he owed me. Well, I couldn't believe what he told me and I started by punching him on his face and all over his body. We started fighting and his wife called the police. He lied and said that I went to his work to threaten him and then I went to his house and start fighting him. I was arrested because the officers did not found the stereo or rims and they thought I made that up to fight him. I was handcuff and arrested. It was for battery misdemeanor. I was there for 3 hours and was given a paper to go to court. When I went to court, he went to press charges. I had to pay a lawyer $1000.00 so he could help me because I was worry about my immigration status. The lawyer told me to plead guilty because there was nothing else to do since the other person showed to press charges. I did and was sentence for one year supervision, the paper says supervision and not probation. This incident happen two years ago, and my supervision will be up in July. Now, that you know my story. I would like to know if you could help me in answering the following questions. and if I should wait for my complete my supervision before submitting my application. I am very worry because I have not had any incidents before, not even in driving. I was clean until last yeat. I am depressed because I want to get my citizenship so my wife can become a resident. I have been to two lawyers and they want to charge more than $1200. I do not have the money now, for that reason I am here and hopefully I can get help from somebody. Thank you.
