My case of two counts of possession (although I wasn't guilty but was in the wrong place at the wrong time) was dismissed after compliance with the District Attorney's terms for a year. Can I get the record expunged and apply for I-485?
 
If it is dismissed after one year probation, it means conviction for immigration matters, for in depth answer please let us know which state you are charged in, the quantity of controlled substance, if the sentence initially was a SIS or SES.
 
It was in Utah but not with 'probation' basically just I paid the fines in payments dividied into 10 payments and going through drug counseling. I went for counseling but they determined that I'm not even a user so counselling is not needed. If you send me your email I can send you the documents. the quantity was less than 5-10 grams but along with the possession of paraphernalia. Mind you though I was innocent but was with someone who did not admit ownership to the pot or the paraphernalia so it was slammed on all of us. I had an attorney approach the DA but he says the case was dismissed so the only thing I can do is get it expunged. I'm not sure if that will allow me to get the PR.

Also what is SIS or SES? What I got is called Plea in Abeyance which means an order by a court, upon motion of the prosecution and the defendant, accepting a plea of guilty or of no contest from the defendant but not, at that time, entering judgment of conviction against him nor imposing sentence upon him on condition that he comply with specific conditions as set forth in a plea in abeyance agreement.
(2) "Plea in abeyance agreement" means an agreement entered into between the prosecution and the defendant setting forth the specific terms and conditions upon which, following acceptance of the agreement by the court, a plea may be held in abeyance.
