Has anyone received I-485 approval after an arrest with no conviction?
Hi everyone,
Has anyone here been arrested in the past and later received approval for Adjustment of Status (I-485), especially under EB-3 Unskilled?
In my case, I was arrested, but the court case was later dismissed by ACD and sealed. I did not plead guilty, and there was no conviction. USCIS has now issued an RFE requesting the arrest and court records. I have collected the Certificate of Disposition and the other available court documents.
If anyone has gone through a similar situation, could you please share:
Whether your I-485 was approved,
Whether USCIS scheduled an interview,
What documents USCIS requested,
How long it took after responding to the RFE
I understand that every case is different.
I am only looking for personal experiences, not legal advice.
Thank you.

did you come to USA on the same I 20? If not, where were you enrolled before this? Have you taken any classes?

@Zobyar Rahman The best way to handle this rfe is to get a letter from your previous school DSO explaining your transfers to a new school and with that attach your new school I-20, transcript and a cover letter with dates when you transferred. I would recommend definitely call your previous school DSO and tell them you received rfe. I’m pretty sure they will help you in this case. best of luck

maybe attach all the i-20 and explain your timeline with exact date. also, briefly explain about the situation.

Contact DSO from that school, and explain the situation. I suggest you to meet in person, otherwise they might not care at all. Ask for a letter with their signature and college stamp.
Also, Write a letter explaining why you changed your mind.
