I was arrested once while in the US, i was attacked by a neighbor and 2 of his friends as they forced entry into my apartment after a night of drinking. To cut a long story short, due to a misunderstanding of whoever called the police, i was arrested for chasing the attackers out of my home with a weapon. Charge was assault with deadly weapon, but keep in mind no one was physically injured, scathed or even scratched or touched. I got bailed out a couple days later, and got a lawyer, the case was dismissed before it went to court. I think it was made apparent to the police what happened, and the guy had a really bad name at the apartment complex. The complex manager had cancer, and she had a nurse who was deaf attend to her sometimes, the same guy attacked both of them on a previous occasion.

My question is should i expect any major delays due to this unfortunate circumstance?

What I see is an Arrest / Criminal Charge and Jail . However, charges were dropped therefore not a Conviction and/or Anger Management etc ordered by the Courts. It may raise an eyebrow but not a big effect on the process. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE.

Thanks for the response, but what is a charge i mean i know but i dont know, may seem like a silly question but does it stick with you? I was innocent throughout that whole case you know. I dealt with the situation in the best possible manor available to me. I protected my life and the lives of my roomates, without hurting anybody.

The most important question is are you pretty confident it wont affect the process or slow it down?

Thanks again!

Anytime you are Arrested for a charge such as this it will be on your record for life. (Example: Assualt IV and you were not convicted but an arrest still showed) No matter what the outcome it is on the record. This is going to be on your record. It is not a Conviction so it will not affect your USCIS Status. (You were issued no probationary periods and/or Counsuling for this unfortunate event. / thus, your off the hook and proven innocent THIS TIME. Charges Dropped.

Any member is free to tell me I'm wrong. Stay away from drinking parties with questionable people. Good Luck

It might.

reason i was arrested was because someone called the police, after the intruders left, i went to bed. when the police came they shared their story and i got arrested and not even asked what happened. When they ran out of the hall making loud noises i guess someone called the cops then or else even before hand someone could of called due to a noise complain or something..

Thanks, can you explain this a little more detail? I read the wiki link, i seen the crimes listed there etc, but what exactly do you mean? did you read the part above the box where it breaks down the crimes, it says an offense or arrested on suspicion of offense?

If you want a definite answer then you need to ask a question that has a definitive answer.
