Question about a Dream Act requirement

Hi guys,

I have a couple of questions. In order to be eligible for the Dream act does one need to have no criminal record at all or do they just have to be within the guidelines of "good moral character". I asking this because i was arrested when i was 15, but it wasn't a major offense. Also since I'm now 18, does that mean that my record gets erased?. I live in CT by the way.

Please let me know if you know any info. concerning this. Thanks.

did you go to court? were you convicted? felony or misdemeanor?

i went to court and got 25 hours of community service. It wasn't a felony so i guess it was a misdemeanor.

well certain things are more serious than others, if i may ask, what was it that you got arrested for?

Well the charges were breach of peace and interfering with an officer. My lawyer said it could have been a felony, but in the end it wasn't. I'm now trying to find out how to clear my record since i turned 18

I'm not a lawyer but as far as I understand, any thing you do before your 18th birthday won't affect you, since you were a minor at that time.

Erase / Rewind

Thanks, yea I definitely didn't do any of those things listed, so i guess I'm alright.

Don't really have an answer to your question, but whereabouts in CT are you located if you don't mind me asking?

I won't say the city, but I live in Fairfield County.
