Even if you don’t admit to immigration authorities that you have an expunged criminal record it may show up anyway in your background check (e.g., because the FBI didn’t expunge when it should have, or didn’t receive proper notice to do so). Then you are perceived to have either misunderstood the instructions to disclose even expunged arrests and/or convictions, or deliberately withheld required information. The second scenario, especially, is not a good place to be in when you are applying for a benefit.
