Interview experiences with arrest records?

[z28eater]

So I went to my interview in Fairfax, VA yesterday. I found out if your not from that area you can't have same day oath. Passed my interview but they couldn't approve me just yet because I was arrested when I was younger. No convictions, but the officer said that he had to consult the lawyers. The officer did say that it was good that the arrest was more than ten years ago. He said my name check came back clear along with my FBI so he said that was a positive thing. He photo copied my records and he thought that everything should be fine and that they will send me my letter to attend an oath in my area. At this point I don't know what to think....is he full of BS and just trying to calm my nerves down or is he just saying that? Has anyone been arrested and gone through the naturalization process. Do they review your case before they call you in for the interview? Anyone know how long the wait will be to receive a letter?
Any thoughts please. Thanks

If there is an arrest, it is standard procedure to subject the case to additional review, regardless of how minor the crime was and regardless of the convictions or lack thereof. So don't worry about it. You may have to wait a month or two though.
