Sorry Carl, here is a new thread.

About 6 years ago, I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. I then had it expunged. I have been accepted for a job overseas and part of the process is that I must submit to an official FBI background check. It does not state what the reason for the FBI background check is CVDESIGN..... This involves me filling out some paperwork, getting fingerprinted, and sending it all in for the results.

The problem is that, on my application, It stated I must divulge any arrests, charges, or convictions, even arrests that never led to actual convictions. Basically, you have to list everything except minor traffic violations. On my application I said no, with my understanding being that my charge had been expunged 3 yrs ago, should not show up on any record and I could truly state that I had never been arrested, convicted, etc.

I got my FBI indentication report in the mail last week and it shows all the charges that were brought up against me. My one conviction and then at the bottom staes DISM 1203.4PC. So it looks like I was lying. It was an honest mistake but thinking about it in reflection, if I told them upfront and while they claim that a record doesn't necessarily disqualify you, the job is in another country where I know for a fact that any charge, would be looked upon almost certainly as a disqualifying detail.

Do I have anyway to clean slate on the FBI Indentifaction report?
Would you suggest me to contact a Expungement Lawyer?
Any Advice?
:confused:

Thanks in advance for any help
