Hello everybody,
Ok here's the deal I'm about to send out my n-400 but unsure if I should obtain my past criminal/arrest record to send with my application. According to the info on the help packet it states "if you've ever been convicted or arrested for a crime you must send in arrest record/etc or other supporting documents you want uscis to consider." Now on the other hand, I've lived in America my entire life and this is the only country I've ever known or can remember 28 years to be exact and I am 29 now. I got caught for riding in a stolen car when I was 15 and that is the only crime I've ever been convicted of. That was about 14 years ago I was young and made a horrible mistake. Anyways on the "good moral character" part, I've moved on and lived my life since and have had absolutely nothing else on my record. So I've been "good for over the past 10 years", my state has even granted me a concealed weapons permit several years ago and I carry a loaded piece on me daily. If uscis does not categorize me in the "good moral character" dept. then I'm at total lost. Sorry so long, but I'm almost finished. Both my parents are naturalized citizens about when I was 12, they didn't included me for whatever reasons at that time now I have to do this on my own and it's about time. So should I go through the hassle and take time to obtain the arrest/conviction record, or just list it on the n-400 without "supporting documentation" and send it in? I would assume I would be alright without it since a. the crime was over 10 years ago. b. it occured when I was a juvenile. c. no previous crimes or conviction in past 5 years (uscis requirements) and last but not leas d.(nothing related but have to let people know) I have never committed a violent or heinous crime against anyone, have never committed any type of ***/assault against anyone but a born American can sexually assault and kill someone, do the time, be realeased and still not have their citizenship taken away and I have to go through all this...just to become one. I'm American as the next man is the way I see it.
