Good afternoon,
I am applying for citizenship with one simple DWI conviction in the past.
The document checklist is asking for :"An original or court-certified copy of the complete arrest record and disposition for each incident (dismissal order, conviction
record or acquittal order)."
The case happened within NYC jurisdiction. I went to the court and obtained the "Certificate of Disposition". It's just a one page document with the seal. They also gave full copy of the court file, which is just several pages with completely unreadable scribbles.
The question is: is it enough to just attach the copy of COD to the N-400?
What is the "original or court-certified copy of the complete arrest record"? Do I really need it since the case proceeded to the court and I have the official court disposition? I suspect that might be a hassle to get in such a gigantic bureaucracy as NYPD
Also I saw in other threads that it needs to be FINAL disposition. My just says "disposition" and clerk told me that the only thing they have in NYC
Any input would be appreciated
