Police Clearance

[wrox14]

I was in US for two years in the past. I was arrested for by police and got released after few hours (1 hr). After few days there was a hearing in court and my lawyer appeared on behalf of me and handled my ticket. As per my lawyer, the State took a Voluntary Dismissal with Leave of the charges.

I want to apply for PR.
As PR application requires police clearance from all country wherever the applicant stayed more than 6 months, so in this situation should I go ahead to apply for PR or my PR application will be rejected if I apply , due to US police clearance.

If anyone advise me on this.

Ok, so here is the deal.

You don't want your application to be processed for ages, so my advice to people who are applying through CEC: collect all your police certificates and attach them to your application.

Beside as you said "PR application requires police clearance from all country wherever the applicant stayed more than 6 months" so you have the answer there: Yes, you need police clearance from the US.

If you won't attach that certificate I'm not sure how the VO will behave. He can make a request for that certificate from you or he can just reject your application and state that it wasn't full.

To be honest I would even attach police clearance from countries that I have been +4 months.

I'm no lawyer but "a Voluntary Dismissal with Leave of the charges" sounds like a no show on your criminal record... If that's true you'll be fine.
