Interview in two days

[Ninna 1]

Hey there! So my hubbys interview for n400  is finally around the corner. He had a charge that happened after we sent his n400 for simple damage to property. His court docket says

 

plea: Not guilty 

Verdict: NP-Nolle Process 

total charged: 0.00

total paid: 0.00

total due: 0.00

 basically everything is 0. Does he have to go into specifics about his charge? Can he just say that I had a charge that happened after I sent in my n 400 and the charges were dropped ? I read that nolle process is basically them dropping the charges and it’s not a conviction for immigration. What do y’all think??

Is nolle prossed a conviction?

Nolle pros means not prosecuted. Your case was dismissed or at least the charge that was nolle prossed. If you never went to trial, never pled guilty and never were sentenced, you were not convicted...

you need to disclose this

 

even when a person passes the interview,  there is a question on back of the Notice of Oath Ceremony that you do not answer till day of the oath 

 

#3.  Since the interview, had you knowingly committed any crime or offense, for which you have not been arrested

 

so,,,  assuming no arrest for this offense,  looks like immigrration still wants to know at the time you apply and will probably address the offense during the interview

Also do not disclose at the beginning of the interview, once IO officer will go through your yes/no questions, then mention it.    But you have to disclose it before the end of your interview.

What's the nature of the offense?

It's probably not an issue as the charges were dismissed, but 1) it needs to be disclosed, and 2) immigration looks at the circumstances surrounding the event.
