Fourth DV charge/conviction? I'm surprised you haven't been deported yet, domestic violence is a CIMT, even if only a misdemeanor. 

Even a single conviction of domestic violence can lead to severe immigration consequences. Defendants who are not citizens of the United States should be advised that in many cases a single conviction of domestic violence can lead to removal, deportation, or denial of naturalization.

Just one time forth degree domestic violence, no previous convictions.

The OP needs to clarify, was it 4 DV charges, or Domestic Violence Assault in the 4th degree?

4th degree just one time no previous convictions.

Title states ‘4th DV record ‘ ?
 

Does that mean you were arrested or had law enforcement contact for domestic violence four times ? 

 

Even traveling out of the country is risky for you , applying for N-400 is equivalent to walking into the tiger’s mouth.

 

I have zero sympathy for those who commit domestic abuse.

 

I don’t know your story…but come on FOUR DV records?!!…am enclosing 2 links 
 

 An average immigration attorney will hurt more than help you, one that specializes is going to charge you big bucks.

In general, a qualifying domestic violence conviction triggers deportation regardless of sentence, and regardless of whether the conviction is a felony or misdemeanor.[7]

No just one time 4th degree domestic violence

Hi, I hope you're all doing well. Back i 2020 September i got arrested in washington state for dv charges and hired a lawyer to represent in court and I was given 24month probation as a term to dismiss my case, i am planning to file for my citizenship soon and I don't know  what to expect. It's been almost 5 years after my conviction but I came here through a green card lottery back in Dec 2017. Please guide me on what to do, thanks I really appreciate
