N-400 Application - Crimes and Offenses

[kiwirst 39]

As I fill out my application I have to complete this section and this has been the one that messes me up every time I have attempted to file.

 

I was arrested on suspicion of DUI in November 2013, booked into county and released later that morning.

 

I was convicted of misdemeanor wet reckless, given 2 years probation and completed that with no more incidents.

 

I have all the court records/probation notices etc but am unsure how to complete the section as it seems like a repeat of the previous one.

 

For the arrest section do I JUST put the arrest information only or the entire case?

 

For the charged with a crime section, do I include the arrest information or just the misdemeanor charges from court docs?

 

Basically is every section on this the same and needs to be identical each time?

Really surprised no one has any advice for filling this out, I am always anxious about this section as it brings back painful memories and I know I have to complete and want to make sure I fill it out correctly so as not to hurt my citizenship chance.

Mark Yes from 22-28. In arrest section you only have ONE entry date of arrest , DUI and date of disposition for misdemeanor wet and reckless . 
Last page say : My one and only contact w law enforcement was on xyz , attached are copies of the Court Disposition and completion of all terms. 
 

Don’t let it stop you from going through the application this time.

Thanks. I have been putting each date of each section based on my court records so hopefully I have it all in the right order.

 

Thanks for the ending sentence as well, that's a good point to put in.
