seven years ago, I was arrested for domestic violence after my wife unrightly called 911. Case was dismissed and sealed. I'm intending to apply for naturalization this spring and I have the following questions:
1- For the question: Why were you arrested, cited, detained, or charged?
To be politically and legally correct, what is the right answer in my case. Is it a 911 call by my wife or domestic violence?
2- Have you ever been in Jail or prison?
Is there a legal terminology here? I was detained over night in a detention center and released the very next day. Was I in jail or prison?
3. The N-400 form requires to attach a written explanation, detailing what happened (reason for arrest). Do I have to go into the minute details of what happened? How many lines this explanation entails? The whole thing was unbased and untrue and my wife regretted calling 911, so what do I write?
