Nobleton, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

If you pay a fine, its a conviction. Most of these cases are misdemeanors and not the type of crime that will affect you PR. You may need to wait for your naturalization. It does not matter if the record is sealed or the case expunged, it still is an arrest, charge and conviction. The only way for it not to affect you at all is a full dismssal. Even with that the N-400 asks if you've ever been cited, arrested or charged. That answer is "yes".

We don't revoke citizenship for post-naturalization activities.  Revoking citizenship currently requires proving that there was some misrepresentation in the immigration or naturalization process prior to the benefit being confered.   To allow actions after you become a citizen to put your status at risk creates a class of citizens that do not have the same rights as those who are born here.  There are many policy implications to changing our current citizenship laws.  Stripping someone of their citizenship gains the state no particular advantage since we want to prosecute and punish offenders in our own jurisdiction anyway.
