    Default N400 and Summary Offence for Shoplifting

    I have a record for retail theft that is 7 years old. I was cited, fingerprinted, Plead Not Guilty, but was found guilty by district justice during the hearing and paid fine $150 (Summary Offence per PA law). I am going to apply for citizneship and have 2 questions:

    1. What is my chance that i will be denied?

    2. Do i need to hire a lawer to accompany me during the interview or at least to file my application and write a legal letter that it falls under petty offence?

    Did anyone on this forum had experience with naturalization with prior criminal record and how was it solved during the natiralization interview?

    Thanks.

    1. Over the single shoplifting incident? Pretty low. Over things we don't know about? I can't say.

    2. If it makes you feel more comfortable.
