N400 question - reporting DWI charge
I was reading the application form last night, as I'm getting ready to complete mine and start the process, and it says that you have to list all criminal records.....well I had a DWI (never went to court, didn't lose my license, never paid a fine), about 18 years ago. I don't know exactly what the charge was - do you know how I can find that information out, and should I disclose it.
I think I should disclose it, but need to find the correct charge before doing so, as the form does say about not lying!!
Any help or advice is appreciated - thanks

One of those forms that is impossible to answer, as far as info on this particular incident you would have to contact whichever authority was involved.

A court records check showed the DUI and the prior drug charges with guilty plea and sentence for time served.
MORAL: contact the court clerk of the jurisdiction in which you were arrested and see if anything is there. If so, get a certified copy of the disposition. If not, get a certified letter or certificate of no record.

Wow, they will have to add a new form question:
"Have you ever been convicted for a crime and served jail time without knowing it?"
"Have you ever been convicted for a crime and served jail time without knowing it?"

She was surprised at the number of people who forgot
all their traffic convictions anything up to 20 of them
slipped people minds..
Although having heard her ask a client what car he had
and the reply was a blue one ..its not surprising

Hey, it was a cheap used car, I didn't care what model it is. Still don't know - but it is a kinda cute little thing.
