I recently had a charge of domestic assault that was nolle proces expunged at the state level. Is there anyway I can have my record removed at the fed

In Virginia, if you have a matter expunged under the state law, what the court order effectively does is directs the Virginia State Police and the Clerk of Court to destroy the records of the event.  This includes removing them from electronic databases.  The question you really need answered is whether the federal background search is pulling from the state record.  If they pull from the state record - there shouldn't be one there to pull once the expungement went through.  It is all linked through your fingerprints.  Just in case, you should consider getting a copy of the expungement order from the court granting it. This response is general in nature and is not legal advice. No attorney client relationship is formed by it.
