Hi-
I was convicted of a felony at age 18 (I'm now 21), and I need to renew my Permanent Resident Visa in 2007. The felony charge has since then been reduced to a mesdimeanor, and the judge promised to expunge it when my probation ends june of the present year. How will this affect me?
Will I ever be able to apply for a United States Citizenship? I know that any sentence of moral turpitude punishable for 1 or more years is negated for citizenshipt. However, does having a reduction and expungement help me at all?
(The Felony was a 245(a) which is an assault w/ deadly weapon in the state of California. As you may know, it is a crime of moral turpitude)
Thank you

EDiT: I forgot to add that my sentence was only 90 days.
