Correct me if I am wrong, but your information is half true yet false. I believe it reads has not been convicted of a misdemeanor with in the past 3 years. Thought I would point this out since it is a VERY big difference

I had a misdemeanor disorderly conduct (for swearing in public if you can believe that) in the 70s. It still causes a background check delay every few years while they check to make sure it wasn't that state's definition of beating up your wife.

Suggest you go for expungement before this becomes more of a problem for you.
