I did deferred disposition (alcohol awareness class and community service) and the local community court has since shredded all documents and has no records or any information. BUT the local police department still has documents about the arrest.

I see that one of the questions is if I have ever been arrested. I will answer honestly but even though I was not convicted, is there a possibility the agent might reject my application? Would taking any supporting documents (like a statement from the court saying that they have no records of the outcome since they have been destroyed) help?
