    Default Misdemeanors and Applying for Citizenship

    I am a legal resident and have two misdemeanors for possession of marijuana that occurred more than 13 years ago. One of the cases was when I was a juvenile and the other I took diversion classes to clear off my record.

    How will this affect my application for citizenship?

    yes, it will effect to yr CZ. As I know if there is only one misdemeanor, you should be Ok since this happened for long time ago. But with 2 counts, I am not sure about that. You should consult with attorneys before you apply for it
    good luck

    I wouldn't expect the charges to sink your application, unless you try to cover them up.

    Simply disclose the charges and provide any documentation you are asked for.
