Hi,
I got my green card through employment..still work for the same employer and I am now ready to file for my citizenship. I feel like answering yes to a specific question is almost asking for trouble. Specifically I "tried" some bud and some other hard stuff in college. So, you can guess which question I am talking about.
I have not touched any prohibited stuff in almost 15 years. So, I feel like answering yes to "comitted crimes and not getting caught question" is almost like me telling USCIS whilst you did not find anything in my back groud checks ..here is something for you to deny me over.
I did extensive reading over this subject and people seemed to be of mixed opinion. I am all for telling the truth but if I dont remember I dont remember

You would answer NO to that question. What the application is interested in is serious crimes committed by an applicant for which he/she wasn't arrested. This is because a criminal charge does not always automatically result in an arrest.
 
You said you're still with the same employer that sponsored your green card. They or their law firm probably has a copy of your I-485 form. Ask them for a copy of it. Of course, you won't go into the details of the real reason!
 
Actually better answer to this Jacko's question is that when your mind starts playing the what if's scenarios you can drive yourself crazy. Thank god for this forumn that one can ask these questions. I started reading and I started reading about people's "accidental registered to vote" etc etc and one starts thinking "Oh! god what if". I checked every single county I have ever lived in's voter registration records etc etc and then the only doubt I had left in my mind was what if...

Hopefully my thought process will make make sense ..Clear as mud to me ;(
