    Shoplifting And Citizenship
    Hi i am a male and was born in Japan. I did a very stupid thing by shoplifting at a mall in Texas when I've just barely turned 21. I was caught by a police officer through a videotape of the cameras in Dillard's and was charged with a 50-500 theft prop offense. This whole situation also includes spending a night in jail before getting bailed, getting fingerprinted, and a mug shot taken. At that time, I'd just got out of a really bad car-accident with a month of coma in Baylor Hospital of Texas. I hired an attorney who told me that he would try to get my case dismissed so he helped me get a 30 hr community service and my case dismissed . I didn't plead to anything. So now I'm wondering if my offense or criminal record still lingering somewhere before applying for U.S. citizenship. Does a dismissed case means that I dont have a criminal conviction record? Would I need another attorney to get an expunction as soon as possible? And then how can I answer to the question on the Citizenship test interview where is goes something like "Have you ever been convicted or arrested before and for what?? I just need some legal advice before applying for citizenship.

    The people here are volunteers who have jobs! Be patient. You require an Attorney familar with both criminal law and imigration issues.
