Hello,
I just went in for my citizenship interview and was denied due to misdemeanor for sale of alcohol to a minor in 2014. I was never arrested and never spent jail time. I was given a citation and My case was dismissed and I entered pre trial diversion. I completed pre trial diversion in 2016.
I know this is less than the required 5 year waiting period but I thought since this was criminal negligence I would be approved. Officer said I can reapply later on this year so it would be 5 years since my citation. I’m not sure whether I should wait to apply in 2021 because then it would be 5 years after my pre trial diversion was completed or apply end of this year since its 5 years after the charge.
Thanks!
