    Default Juvenile Crime and Naturalization

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: UNITED STATES.

    I have a question relating law, and not being born in the US,--> tying into work ethnics and SSN
    A friend of mine(who won't be disclosed) wasn't born here and came to the US at the age of 3 and stayed here since then.
    At age 16 she got caught stealing a 30 dollar watch, cops got involved, and she didn't go to "court".
    This was her first offense ever and was a stupid mistake. She went to a program, and they said the records will be clean at the age of 18 as long as nothing else happens. She got NO COMMUNITY SERVICE, after the program it was as if nothing happened.
    Year went by, she forgot about it all and is now trying to get a SSN through "obamas dream plan" to be able to work, etc, make money.
    How does this affect it? On one part of the contract (to get a SSN) it asks if you've ever been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of a felony or misdemeanor in the US (don't include minor traffic violations). It says if you answered yes, for you to include a certified court disposition, arrest record, charging document, sentencing record, etc, etc. But she doesn't have any of that?She's stressing and worrying a lot and I feel extremely sad, can anyone help? Or have any knowledge in this area?

    I'm going into law school so I'm practicing and learning new things about law. I am extremely worried about my friend and she is extremely stressed out. I want much information as possible but limited because her or her parents don't remember anything, Its as if they completely forgot.

    She was arrested. What did you miss? Her DREAM appears to involve a ticket home.

    Yes, she was arrested. Did you not read everything? This happened when she was 16, "past tense". My question is fully on how if affects her getting a ssn/job certificate to be able to work?

    Yes I read it. The crystal ball is out for calibration. Apparently you are the one with cognitive issues since you cannot figure out how to research the terms of the DREAM Act. The answer is yes she has been arrested and must report it.

    While the DREAM Act has not outlined specific guidelines of what “good moral character” should be, it can be characterized as being a law-abiding resident of the United States. This list may or may not be a comprehensive, however, it is a good way to gauge one’s moral character. For example, some students may have committed minor crimes such as misdemeanors before they turned 18; those minor incidents may not hinder their application process for Conditional Permanent Residency as much as being convicted of a felony would. However, since there are no guidelines, we cannot be 100% positive on which crimes would impact one’s application.

    You've left out a lot of necessary information. Where was she arrested and when? Can she get certified copies of her court record? One way to see if any hits come back on her would be for her to submit to a criminal records check through state or federal law enforcement. There is a process to do that but my papers are at work. The results will have all of the information if any hit is found.

    I see thank you. I know she has to report it but the problem is her nor her family members remember much about it.
    How can they find the documents that shows the arrest? It asked to provide a document of arrest, etc but they never got any documents?

    Well she said that when she went to the program the lady there said that since its a first offense and you guys got arrested you will be charged with a misdemeanor. But one they hit 18 all records will be wiped as long as they don't do anything "bad" again. She didn't receive any documents and was arrested at Macys. Around 1 year ago, she will turn 18 in 6-7 months.

    When she asked about getting jobs, she asked if she should put yes or no, under being arrested etc, again the lady said to just check no.
    But this is a different situation, so I'm guessing she checks yes, but where can she receive or attain the documents?
