Hi Guys!
I've submitted my N-400 two weeks ago since I'm already within 90 days of my 3 year marriage, but sadly this weekend we had an argument at home and cops were called and I ended up arrested for DV (misdemeanor 1); my wife paid my bond so I got out. She's not pressing any charges or anything since it was just a misunderstanding, but in AZ the state is still required to pursue - I have my arraignment hearing this week and I've already hired a criminal lawyer to help me dismiss my case.
My problem is that I've already received my biometrics appointment for the N-400 and it's scheduled for 11/30 - My lawyer said that if I want these charges dropped, more than likely will take longer than that to conclude the whole process.
What should I do? I do not want to go to my biometrics because if they fingerprint me they'll find out about this pending charges.
Q1: Should I withdraw my application?
Q2: Are there any consequences if you withdraw your N-400 application?
Q3: Would this charge affect my permanent GC? I haven't even received my permanent GC since they've been very busy so all they keep sending me are I-797 extending my temporary GC (the card expired in 2017, but my I-797 letter goes through 7/19).
I sincerely appreciate your prompt responses.
