After thanking each and every one of you for your valuable advise and experience sharing, here is my case hopefully someone will in this community help out with ideas and advice.

I am ready to apply for my citizenship; I don't have any violation except one, which was before even I got my GC.

I was unfairly issued a summon by police for disorderly conduct and had to appear in court, NO ARREST, NO FINGER PRINT, NO PHOTO was taken of me, except for the summon and to appear in court, I did appear in court and explained to the judge the whole issue, the judge then DISSMISSED the case.

I later on obtained court disposition and in the letter of disposition my family name is misspelled, I spoke to the court clerk to correct the name but I was told that since the case was OLD and DISMISSED, the file is now sealed and that there will be no mention in my record of any charges.

Can some one please advise me what to do in this case and what to put in part 10. Question 15 to 21 of the N400 form.

Thank you.
 
Thanks Joef

Thank you Joef,
I will not say anything other that the fact as it is, no more no less, but what box do I have to mark in part 10. Questions 15 to 21 (I was not arrested, finger printed or picture taken).

Also when sending out the N-400 do I have to attach the disposition letter or wait till the interview and explain the whole issue?

Any ideas from other members also appreciated.


Thank you.

If you were detained by the police even though you were not arrested etc., you would mark "Yes" for question 16 in Part 10 (D). However, if all you got was a summons to appear in court, and were never detained, arrested, cited by any law enforcement officer, you would mark "No" to the same question. Please somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Regardless of "Yes" or "No" to question 16 in Part 10 (D), go ahead and attach the disposition of the matter to the application, even though you will get a chance to tell your story at the interview.
