Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

If I plead guilty to a felony theft of $10,000 or greater but entered a plea agreement with a stay of imposition and have successfully completed all requirements and was discharged from probation reducing it to a misdemeanor and restored all civil rights am I eligible for having it expunged and if so do I have to wait the 2 years for a misdemeanor or the 5 years for a felony according to Minnesota state law.....Thanks in advance!

A general rule of thumb on this sort of question is that when two dates are in question, that with the lengthier (longer) time frame governs. When you stop & think about it, I believe it will make sense to you. Urge you to be very wary of 'free advice'.
