cambriz 0 Posted July 11, 2013 I was arrested for a felony going on seven yrs now. I was not however, convicted of it. Is there anyone out there that's in the same situation? Also I'm not sure how to go about filling in section 7 of the form anyone have an answer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoseG 383 Posted July 12, 2013 I'm not sure about the felony thing, but part 7 of form I-821D is there in case you need more space to write down more information. If you don't need it, just leave it blank. 1 Erick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pswa83 302 Posted July 25, 2013 true, conviction is what they care about but you will still need to provide the paperwork of your arrest and that they case was dismissed. doing this will prevent USCIS from issuing a RFE and thus delaying your application. i would explain that you were arrest, what for and that the case was dismissed, provide the according paperwork and include it all in your application Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tori 38 Posted July 25, 2013 Definitely get a record from the court house. I got cited on a misdemeanor back in 2011, no charges ever filed, and I requested a document (to send in with my initial app) from the courthouse stating that my record was clear.

Baby23 1 Posted July 25, 2013 Go get a finger print scan google a place in your area. That will show you what your record will show USCIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
romero509 4 Posted July 26, 2013 If the incidents happened in the same county then u can go to ur local policecstation and they can give u a paper with ur record showing that it was dismissed. I got that paper at my local police station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
