Hello folks, on a previous post I was concerned about having 2 arrests for possession of marijuana, and wondering how that would affect my citizenship application. I just found my court documents, and if I'm reading these correctly, my case was actually dismissed after completing probation. Can someone please verify, and tell me if this is still a conviction in the eyes of USCIS / immigration Dept?
"Order discharging defendant and dismissing proceedings...
Adjudication of guilt was deferred, and the defendant was placed on community supervision. No adjudication of guilt has occurred, and period of supervision has expired. It is therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed that defendant is discharges from supervision and that proceedings are dismissed." - signed by Judge.
Later, I had these records sealed.
So, folks, what say you? Should I be in the clear? This is in the state of Texas and I understand that they don't count deferred adjudication as a conviction, but I'm more concerned with how immigration offices view this.

Translate This Legalese please? Does This Count As Conviction by USCIS
