    Default Green Card to USC - Arrest, Case Dismissed

    Prior to obtaining my Green Card (approved in Dec 07) I was working in the US on a L1 visa. One night (Sept 07) my ex-wife and I got into a fight and I accidentally broke a door in the house. The Cops were called, I was arrested and charged with a Criminal Mischief Misdemeanor class III - DV. The case was later dismissed. Even if convicted it would have fallen into 'Petty Offense' category as the damage was less than $100.

    I received my Green Card some two months later and have successfully re-entered the US 3 times since then.

    Once the appropriate period of time has passed I would like to apply for citizenship. Are there any opinions as to whether this will cause an issue when either renewing my GC or applying for citizenship?

    As the case was dismissed, you shouldn't have any issues.
