My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I was involved in petty theft of $110 worth of items in Mar 2004. I hired an attorney and we pleaded 'not guilty' and the case was dismissed. The court had me do 40 hours of voluntary service and i had to take some consultation classes for 40 hours. I completed all of that successfully.
Now, my dillemna is I have a citizenship interview next Tuesday and I am not sure if the above incident would affect my citizenship? I was a permanent resident at the time I committed this biggest mistake of my life of stealing something.
The reason I stole was because I had an argument with my mom and I was just not thinking form my mind...
I am overall a very good student and that's the only mark I have in my background.
Please advise If my citizenship can be denied on a dismissed pleaded not guilty case which occured 4.5 years ago.
Thank you very much!!
