Reviving an older thread I just saw today. I had an "AHA moment" as I read the quote at the start “Have you, ... ever: been convicted of, or are you currently charged with,....." As I understand this "Have you ever been convicted of"....if a person was charged but not convicted, they would answer NO. "Are you currently charged with", again, if the charges were dropped you are not CURRENTLY charged, answer NO. I can see how confusing this would be to answer if your history was not crystal clear. If I have it right, they are asking if you have been convicted in the past, or if there is something pending for which you COULD be convicted in the future.
Glad to see a positive outcome for you.
