SUPERVISORY REVIEW FOR A DISMISSED ARREST CHARGE?
Hi Room, I was waiting till today to post my interview experience.
Went to my interview at the Philly DO on Sept 8th, was sworn in before I could even sit down, passed the civic test, wrote the suggested sentence which was "America is the land for the brave." The history questions were, Who is Martin Luther King Jr? What was the first holiday celebrated by the colonist? Who was the first President of the US? When is independece day? Independence from whom?
The officer then proceeded to ask me if I have ever been arrested? Which by the way was the first question she asked me. I answerd yes, and also made her aware that the charges was dismissed, she asked me if I was still married and if I still lived at the same address? She proceeded to ask me if I brought my court papers and what the arrest was about, I explained to her that it was a domestic dispute between me and my hubby, but the charges were dismissed and has been expunged from my record and gave her the expungement notice and the despostion from the court, which I had gotten before I requested for the expungement.
She proceeded to tell me she needed a true certified copy of the arrest, the desposition and the expungement notice, and said if I was able to get that to her, then she was going to try to fit me into today's naturalization ceremony. Well needless to say, I went to the court, who told me there was no record of the arrest since it was expunged and therefore, could not give me a disposition, went to the police station and got the same answer, went to the county court and got the certified copy of the expungement notice and managed to get a letter from the police precint to indicate that there was no arrest record on me. I sent the documents off the following day which was a friday and it was signed for on monday.
That was almost three weeks ago and I still did not hear anything from the officer. I had been calling the office for the past two weeks and was put in her voice mail each time, but I left her only one message. I managed to get her on the line this morning, and she told me she has given my file to her supervisor for a supervisory reveiw but her supervisor has not done anything to the file yet, I then asked her if she recieved the documents I sent her? and her answer was "possibly" I mean she does not even know if she recieved it, well it was signed for so I know someone received it. I am just venting right now but I just don't know what to do and how long of a wait this is going to be?
JONNYCASH: A sister needs your help here please, now here is my delima, my children have a conditional green card based on my marriage to my husband, and that green card will expire in January, I was hoping I was not going to spend another $400 to remove conditions for both of them since once I become a citizen they become deriviative because they are both under 18yrs old.
Now my question to you is, if I wait till I become a citizen to get them a US passport, which could probably mean their green card could have been expired by then, would they be deportable??? I am just soo strung for cash now. On the other hand, I wanted to know if there was a chance of my citizenship getting denied due to this arrest even though I was not convicted and the charges were dismissed? Your honest answer as always will be very much appreciated. Thanks for all your sincere and honest input.
