    Default Implication of an Arrest but Not Charged by the DA on Citizenship Application

    I was arrested by police for a domestic matter (in Ca) but the DA decided not to charge me based on facts of the arrest report and a discussion with my attorney. This was almost two years ago. I am now getting ready to apply for my citizenship and wondering what type of documentation I need to accompany my citizenship application. I am going to be open about the arrest and supply the report from the police and the DA's office. My question is: Will my arrest be a problem in my citizenship process? I intend to engage a very good immigration lawyer to help me through the process but wanted advise from this forum on how to proceed and what to be aware of. Thanks

    What documentation exists?

    If there was not sufficient evidence to charge you, and that's the basis for the prosecutor's dismissal, I would not expect this to affect your eligibility for citizenship.
