Q: i was arrest in DEC 2013 but don't know what were the charges correctly,Do I have to mention in citizenship application.
I was arrested in West Chester, Ohio on December 2013, for Civil Disobedience. I had to stay in Jail for 5 hours and next day had to court, court gave us warning and drooped charges to minor charges such as speeding ticket or Trust passing in private property.
Now I don't remember what were the charges exactly and I don't have any document of it.
How I can find that ?
Also applying for citizenship and do not know, Should i have to mention that or not , If i have to then what should I write (what was the charges) in form?
Please guide.
Thanks
A: Yes, you must reveal your conviction on your N-400 application. You should order a certified copy of the record of conviction from the court where you were convicted. It does not sound like your conviction will negatively affect your application for naturalization.
