H1B stamping and green card processing with arrest records dismissed

[rohan221]

Hi,
I am on H1B visa. I have 2 arrest records:
1. Domestic violence assault and battery. Result: dismissed
2. Violation of restraining order (a text message was sent by mistake). Result: dismissed
Both incidences were minor, no harm to victim. They were dismissed. I also have multiple certified copies of police and court records for both arrests. My questions below:
A) If I expunge both the arrest records, will there be a problem in my H1B visa stamping or port of entry or while crossing US border by car to Canada?
B) If I expunge both the arrest records, will there be a problem when I file for green card?
FYI - I am talking about expunging and not sealing.

Please let me know.
Thanks!!

While expunging records may work for job / other background checks, they do not apply for immigration.
If ever asked, you must list them (even if a record was expunged, dismissed, sealed etc)
So if a visa officer asks, you need to let them know and explain it was expunged. Show court records as proof. Same applies for CBP @ border.
