Hello there.

I have a question for this scenerio.

A person arrested 2 years ago
Released the next day.
Charges were dropped.
Expungement was granted.
FBI back ground check does not show anything related to the crime.
First offense and only offense.

When doing the application what should i answer for the next questions.

1) been convicted of a crime or an offense in Canada or any other country
2) been charged or may be charged for a crime or offense in Canada or any other country.
3) been detained or incarcerated.
4) been arrested in Canada or any other country.

Thank you very much for your time.

Tell the truth, or suffer the consequences if you misrepresent the facts.

Thank you for your response.

I have read on several forums that i should not disclose anything if the background check comes clean (meaning there is no criminal record on it).
If i tell the truth i may face delays and might get denied.
If i don't tell the truth i also may get denied.

I have no idea what to do.

Should i hire a lawyer?

Hi So what did you find out when this happened? Did you admit it while filling the application? Did it cause a delay?
I was not convicted either, Case dismissed right way and expunged. What we should do in this case. Please respond.

Thank you.
