I getting ready to apply for citizenship and i have a few bumps in my record.
the worst one is a dwi and a couple minor others that came in the same incident. the cases were dimissed. a year prior to that a had another running with the law for disordely conduct/indicent exposure and the case was also dismissed. The last charges happened in 2002 (DWI)
I know it sounds bad ...i'm going to have any problems with getting my paperwork approved?

Thanks for the help
Concur with T53147. Don't even think of starting the paperwork until you've discussed your criminal record and its implications with an immigration attorney.

Typically, a single misdemeanor charge isn't enough to torpedo the application. Multiple charges - even if they've been dismissed - certainly can be.
