Legal Question in Immigration Law in Arizona
I filed a I-485 and I have a criminal record that I had sealed. I do not have the disposition of the case but I do have the sealed record certified and the arrest record from the police station. Now that it is sealed and in another state it may be difficult to get. Is it imperative that I have this? Or should I wait for my interview and see what they say?

Any arrests that are not traffic citations should have been disclosed on the application, whether or not the record was sealed. It is in your best interest to disclose the arrest prior to or at the latest, at the interview before you are asked. USCIS will need a copy of the disposition. Call the clerk's office in the county that the case was heard and follow their direction on how to obtain the disposition. If you do not let immigration know of the arrest and it is found out about at any time later on, you will lose your permanent residency. Good luck!
