Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I was recently charged with 2 felonies and 1 Misdemeanor in the State of Georgia. I�ve already been arrested, charged, and indicted; now awaiting trial. However the victim in the case has indicates she wishes to drop the charges, (but can�t ofcourse because the State has picked it up). But she has said, she does not wish to proceed with the case, and has indicated that she will not show up in court as a witness even if she is subpoenaed. Thus according to my lawyer, at that time the case will be dismissed.
If that happens, and the case is dismissed and charges dropped;
1. Will the charges still show on any criminal background check?
2. Can I get those charges expunged off my record?
3. Or because of how the case was dismissed (by her deciding not to pursue) I may not qualify for an expungement?
4. Also who would make that call? (an expungement); Is it the D.A., the Judge, or another entity??
5. How can I go about the process once the case is dismissed?

You say you have a lawyer. Why are you asking here?

None of us is familiar with the facts of your case (which affect the answers). He is. Call him.
