Hello! I filed my N-400 application last month. I've been a green card holder for five years. I received my conditional green card in 2020, and my petition to remove the conditions was approved in 2023.

In 2019, I was arrested for domestic battery, but the case was dismissed by the district attorney. Now that I've applied for citizenship and my application is pending, I've been seeing news about green card holders being detained or deported, sometimes for unclear reasons. I'm feeling terrified and have a lump in my throat that won't go away. I'm restless and worried about my child. Should I reach out to a lawyer or prepare for the worst-case scenario?

When was the case dismissed? Reach out to the lawyer, bring in all the documents you have and get a consult. If they think your case might raise flags, withdraw the application
