Re: Consequences
I am not an expert in immig. law, so this is not a formal legal opinion. As an overview, I can state if you are in a diversionary program (where you agree to perform some conditions that,when completed, the case will be dropped), once the case is dropped, there would be no conviction for a crime. If there is no prosecution, it should not affect your application for citizenship. 'Hope this helps. Tom Rosenblum
