Expunged case and green card expiring in January.

[Rakesh6718 0]

Will I get denial for naturalization?

I was charged with Class C misdemeanor possesion of drug paraphernalia( envelope with marijuana) in beginning of 2018. My case was deferred dismissed and had to pay fine with guilty plea. Later it was expunged which I shouldn't have done. I don't have any court documents of the case and when I contacted court they don't have any documents. My green expires in 1 and half months. I am planning on applying for citizenship after waiting for 6 years of that case. Am I going to have trouble or denial because of that case? Should I just renew my green card? What would be the difference? Please help me with this. Thank you

This is not a simple question. I think you need a legal analysis from a competent lawyer. There are at least two questions on N-400 form that would have to be answered in a way it can become an issue.

lawyer time

u have to answer yes for arrested and convicted

u can not provide court papers but FBI can see them even though  expunged

 

could also give  u a hard time for green card renewal depending on the state u live in

I concur on answering the yes questions.

Not only this, but there are questions specifically about "controlled substances" on N-400 with "ever" word in them.

It's lawyer time.
