I did some research today and went to the precinct that arrested me since they were the one that had the record originally, I asked them to check my record for the arrest/conviction and it is no longer there...my record is now blank.
I know my interpol record is blank, my RCMP record is blank, and now my local records are blank. I hope to drop by the airport this week and see DHS and talk to a supervisor and appeal to their common sense...I want them to look at my records themselves and tell me I still need a waiver for something that doesn't exist.
At some point common sense has to come into play here...I'm not holding my breath.
Sigh.
