Re: Am i eligible to apply for a citizenship?

If you were not charged and convicted of a crime, then it should not be a basis to deny your naturalization application. However, to be sure, you need to obtain an original certificate of disposition from the court. Also, why were the police interested in questioning you? Because an applicant for naturalization must satisfy many requirements in order to successfully naturalize, I would recommend consulting with an immigration attorney to ensure that you are eligible. Please feel free to contact our firm if you would like further assistance.
