Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone who had experience in this could clear it up for me. When I was 19, I was arrested for underage drinking. When I went to court, I talked to the prosecutor and it was simply just a fine. The judge said that I was not convicted of a crime and it won't be on my record. I'm pretty sure in NJ it's just a disorderly person's offense too.
When the application asks if I was "charged with a criminal offense," I have to answer yes though right? Should I just explain that I was charged with a MIP but never actually convicted?
