Hello!
I have been a US Permanent Resident, through my ex-wife, for 5 years now. I am trying to apply for Citizenship but I am a bit worried, as I have 2 arrest records: (1 back in 2000 for a misdemeanor terroristic threat) and (1 in 2007 for a misdemeanor domestic violence involving ex-wife and our 2-year-old child). Ex was overdosing on meds. and cutting herself in front of our child. I tried to hold her down but she claimed I choked her... The 1st record has already been disclosed to USCIS when I was applying for my AOS. Both cases were eventually dismissed.
Now, my question is how would this affect my application for Citizenship? What should I do? Do I skip Citizenship, although I want it bad? I was planning on filing for Citizenship pro se in the next few weeks.
Thank you for your valuable input!
