If the arrest for for a minor offense and you were not convicted or pled guilty, you are still eligible for deferred action. You should consult an immigration attorney, as you still must disclose the event and provide the police reports.

You will need to review this with an attorney. In some situations you will, in others you won't.

Yes but only if you were not convicted of the charges.

You can still apply for a deferred action. Felonies and significant misdemeanors will disqualify you, but an arrest will not. You will, however, need to mention the arrest in your application and explain it.
