Applying for Citizenship With a Criminal Record

[tatolaw]

I was arrested in 3 - 31 - 2005 for disorderly intoxication.
The case was nolle prosequi.
Should I send my N400 application now or wait until April so I am sure that the 5 years statutory period are over?

[Mr. Knowitall]

I would play it safe. If you're in a hurry, consult an immigration lawyer.

[tatolaw]

I spoke to an immigration officer. She said that sending the application a month or two before the 5 years statutory period is over would be fine
