If I had charges dropped can I still become a citizen?
I was arrested for and charged with a few crimes three years ago, but they all got dropped. I just want to know if I am able to become a citizen?

Usually, if you were not convicted of the crime, it will not be held against you for citizenship. But the Feds can look further into charges and by your admissions, and other admissible evidence, construct the elements sufficient to show you committed the act which could be held against you. Call me for further information.
