對於剛才老貓回答樓下網友有關移民問題的補充

移民局的官方網站對於這個問題的答覆是如下
If I have been convicted of a crime but my record has been expunged, do I need to indicate that on my application or tell an Immigration officer?

Yes. You should always be honest with Immigration regarding all:

Arrests (including those by police, Immigration Officers, and other Federal Agents);

convictions (even if they have been expunged); and

crimes you have committed for which you were not arrested or

convicted.


Even if you have committed a minor crime, Immigration may deny your application if you do not tell the Immigration officer about the incident. It is extremely important that you tell Immigration about any arrest even if someone else has advised you that you are not required to do so.

所以如果您的案件被dismiss,(表示檢方控訴您的罪名因某種原因無法成立) 同時您的紀錄已經 expunge,(表示在法律上您並沒有犯罪) 照理說應該是不需要通報移民局，然而如果您擔心有麻煩則應該考慮找律師諮詢，老貓個人以為這個問題的重點是您有沒有conviction (accused is quilty as charged，定罪),如果沒有被定罪，則應該無須視為無罪

一個補充，這個問題，老貓以前的看法是無論如何都應該報告，最近在考慮憲法保障基本人全的前提下，因此有所不同的看法，然而您要是怕有麻煩，回答yes是較穩固的做法 !
