I had a minor incident with my wife (domestic), arrested and case was dismissed by the judge.I have no conviction whatsoever. However, I am now applying for expungement of my arrest record which should be completed in a couple of months.I am a Green Card holder who is up for Naturalization. I want to leave for vacation outside of the USA, but am afraid if I leave now, I will be denied re-entry because of this arrest record. Does an expungement make any difference for the Immigration Officer at the airport because I believe he can still see it. Will I be denied reentry? Do I have to take the court order of dismissal and expungement order with me to be on the safe side? Thanks for your help! Remember, I have not been convicted of anything.
Answer:
Get some legal advice before you leave, perhaps even talk to the immigration office, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem..
doubt it. not sure about all the laws (i dont think anybody is)
but as long as you don't stay more than 180 days outside, you don't need a re-entry permit anyway. i think you should be fine.
good luck budd
Why would you mess with this...See an immigration lawyer, before you leave the country, and get the proper advice.If you can't afford a Lawyer, cancell your holiday and wait til you are naturalized.
I don't think it will go against you, but you can check at www.uscis.gov
Where you from originally and how do I get a green card? I'm from the UK.
Just because you weren't convicted doesn't mean you are not guilty.
I hope they don't let you back in if your a wife beater!
we are not the people to ask, I dont think it would, but you are best to contact immigration and naturalization before you leave.
