Hi I've been visiting this site for almost a month hoping to find an answer regarding about my concern..

I was a GC holder since 2007 married to a US cz man, we've been married for 8yrs(he was diagnosed w PTSD and has bipolar).

I'm a law abiding individual never been in any trouble in my life up untill may 2014. We went to California for couple of days visit and it was fun, the night before our flight back home we had a heated argument inside our hotel my 5yr old daughter was inside our hotel room,

during the fight he got a small scratch from me, He then called the reception area to call the cops on me for DV, I was confident that I'll never get In trouble because his 300lbs/6ft tall and I'm only 100lbs/5"2 and what can they charge me for?(obviously I'm clueless).

my daughter was crying the entire time because her father wants to take her but I wasn't letting him go w/ my daughter.

when the cops came we're both calm,They talked to us separately, I only told them it's just an argument..and this is not necessary he push me so then I push him back and thats about it,

I have no idea what he had said to the cops but he sure did said a lot against me..I was confident everything is going to be fine.

After hours of questioning Next time I know the cops took me and hand cuff me they were rude and mean to me laugh at my situation while I was inside the police car and only listen to my husband side since I did not say much, I started crying confuse and frightened,one of the cops said your husband will longger press charge but we will, took me to jail booked,fingerprinted and the lady in jail told me I was charge for Felony and willful cruelty to a child(child abuse),

I'm completely shock and didn't see this coming. I have a clean record, big dreams and here I come facing felony/child abuse where I've done nothing but work hard for my family and do my best to be a good mom..

Anyway my bail was $50k, I couldn't afford it,

My husband and my daughter flew back to our hometown after I got arrested and left alone in Ca jail.

I had to stay and wait for my trial spent 4days in jail, went to the court house for trial but I did not see the judge I was told by an officer I have no case and let go the same day.

I Went to the courthouse got court disposition..

I was relieve when they let me go,I'm back with my husband and my daughter and still leaving together,I'm going back to college this fall and hoping to find a job since I lost my other job after I got arrested..

I wanted to apply for citizenship soon after I get my arrest record expunge, will I get approve for citizenship despite of the arrest record but NO CHARGES/CASE FILED?

How unlikely will I get approved?or should I wait?

Grateful for any helpful answer I get..and thank you all in advance.

Ps: sorry for the long letter and my broken English..
