Arrested and charges dropped

[planbee]

A few years ago I was arrested in Chicago for trespass, I was on the roof of a building during an event, it was silly. I had to leave the country that week so was unable to physically make my court date but a public defender who was very sweet represented me in my absence and my charges were dismissed.
I have been honest about this in my paperwork, is it necessary for me to get the records from the court? it is proving kind of difficult to get a hold of them? will my paperwork be denied if I don't provide these with the adjustment of status package?
Thank you!

You can just bring any paperwork to the interview, which you can get from public records saying the charges were dismissed or even correspondence with the public defender confirming. From what I have seen if they need anything official they will send RFE. Your charges were dismissed so I doubt they will ask for official document unless you have more charges or similar things going on.

YES, that is very important to show proof in your interview. Go to the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the case was heard and purchase a copy of the court file. It will indicate that the case was dismissed, that should do it. They probably already know but it is good to show good moral and honesty. Good luck!
