I doubt attempted strangulation is a crime in Tennessee. But most likely a maximum of 8 years from the strangulation incident would be the SOL for a charging instrument to be issued or returned.

Yes it is good so far. But when the victim testifies at the grand jury, you will get indicted. Be ready to hire an attorney, and do not talk about this incident.

The USCIS allow for the children of a principal applicant filing under VAWA to be included as derivative beneficiaries if they are unmarried and under 21 years of age. Therefore, your 18-year-old child can be included on your I-360 petition as a derivative beneficiary. No additional I-360 on his... View More

It should have been expunged in the Court in which the charge was before. Call the Court Clerk and ask about your docket number. If not expunged, do it now.

DA is a serious charge worst than some felonies. Boyfriend needs a good attorney who knows how to handle this case so it gets dismissed and you do not go to jail. He should not plead to anything short of diversion, and prepare for trial with you as the victim/witness.

No...That misdemeanor is worst than some felonies. You might apply for a governor's pardon sometime. But consult with a competent attorney and learn of the many effective weapons legally available to you. Noone should ever plead guilty to that charge without diversion involved.
