Yesterday I received the yellow letter indicating what documents I shall bring to the interview.
It asked me to bring in "all original or certified copis of arrest records and court dispositions ..." to the interview.
I was arrested only once. That was in 09/2002 and the charge was dismissed in 03/2003. I did provide the certified copy of court disposition (which carries a raised seal) when I applied for I485 based upon asylum in 2007. This time I sent along with my N400 application the same copy, which carries a raised seal, too. ( I ordered several copies from the court since I live in Columbus, OH, far from NYC where it happened).
But the problem is, I do not have any official "arrest record" for this incident. But on the disposition letter, it did indicate the date when the arrest happened. Will this court disposition letter suffice for my naturalization purpose? Do I have to fly back to NYC to get "arrest record"?? I learned from other threads that arrest record is not easy to get and often involves a so-called FOIA procedure.
