Hello. I received a DUI in Waterbury VT in 1985. Was told it would dissapear from my record in 7 yrs. Not! Will have to hire a lawyer to get it stricken from my record. My advice to you. Do not apply for teaching jobs in countries that require criminal background checks

That's a good answer -- you've never been convicted of a crime or a traffic citation. You've never been convicted by a judge or jury. Since the FBI record says you were only charged with a traffic citation, this indicates that you paid a no contest fine, probably through the mail. Moreover, I'm not certain that most countries around the world have serious traffic police.

There is an easy was around your DUI problem. PM me for details.
