    Smile Criminal Record Under a False Name

    hi, I'm putting together my application for naturalization. Six years ago my friend and i were arrested at a subway station for not paying the fare
    we were both 19 and didn't have any ID. We both gave fake names and info and spent a night in central booking, where we were fingerprinted. Will this show up on my background check? should i admit that I have been arrested? or just say no? I don't want to get in more trouble by denying it, and have them find out about this. Please Help!

    Default Re: Criminal Record

    I suggest that you work with an immigration lawyer. If your fingerprints show up in association with a criminal charge in somebody else's name, it's going to inspire questions about how that happened. You don't want to be discovered to be lying in association with any immigration process or proceeding. You don't indicate whether you resolved the charge - if you did, it may be plausible that the name mistake was a clerical error; if you did not, you could have an outstanding warrant associated with your fingerprints, and a potential problem resolving the charge given that you lied about your name.
