Arrest Record in CA - Factual Innocence

[calibran]

I was arrested and fingerprinted and got bailed out with Misdemeanor / 243(E)(1) by law enforcement officer(police). Hired a lawyer. Case was dismissed/rejected by DA with out filing in court.

 

When I have called the court they said no case has been filed and pressed NO charges.

When I called DA office they said DA decided NOT TO FILE which means "REJECTED".

Thus they said they dont give any paper work since there was no case filed so there is no case number.

 

Now I wonder what happenes when I change employment with arrest record. I know there is no expungment if there is NO conviction.

 

 

Can I seal MY arrest record? Shall I proceed with Factual Innocence to be more peaceful while changing jobs and at Port of Entry? I am a Green Card Holder.

PLEASE HELP IF ANY ONE COME ACROSS THIS SITUATION.

 

Thank you

For immigration, arrest records are never sealed. They can always see them, and you have to declare it on immigration forms.

I think it's not necessary as case is not filed in court and paper works are also not provided.. Better say that Factual Innocence...
