A case is dismissed but the federal fingerprints came back pending a conviction on a background check?

Question

if a person is picked up for driving while intoxicated having two minors in the car and the charges are dismissed after all programs were completed (first offense). then why would a federal background check of fingerprints come back as pending a conviction?

Answer 1

It would come back that way because the court that sentenced the individual did not send their updated records to the state, so the state could not send the updated case status to the FBI database.  None of these database talk to one another automatically.  I would contact the court and ask them to send your updated disposition to the state repository and then follow up with the state to make sure they forward that to the FBI.
