I have been a resident alien since I was age five. I am now 43. I wanted to file to become a US Citizen but had legal issues. My now ex-husband made false allegations had me arrested. There was also a typographical error on that charge stating I abused a corpse! I learned this when I travelled to visit Canada. I desperately want to be a US citizen. Thank You.
Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
A mere charge is not enough. A conviction can have consequences. Interesting charge but did the criminal court make this charge or was it part of the divorce. The federal authorities will not be influenced by a disgruntled spouse's allegations in a civil proceeding unless it raises an issue of fraud.
