    Default Public Intoxication and Citizenship

    I was arrested on Public Intoxication in March 2001 (don't remember the date) in Birmingham, AL. I never had any other charges than this. I got my green card in 2003. I will be eligible to apply for Citizenship by July of 2009. Will this jeopardize the green card/citizenship process? How can I get the documents from the Court in AL? Whom should I contact for the below said Document? checklist for N-400 has the below given instruction on USCIS website:

    If you have ever been arrested or detained by any law enforcement officer for any reason, and charges were filed, send:

    An original or court-certified copy of the complete arrest record and disposition for each incident (dismissal order, conviction record or acquittal order).

    I live in VA now and would like to get all the documents needed for this.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You should be able to get the court-certified record from the sentencing court. Contact them and ask the procedure.

    I doubt that a conviction for public intoxication that predated your Green Card is going to significantly interfere with your application for citizenship, provided you have always been honest with the USCIS in relation to that incident.
