Unless the offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday your adult record will always reflect your felony charge. Even though you might not have actually served jail time, probation IS a sentence after being found guilty. If you had been found not guilty or the charges were dismissed you would not have had to serve 3 years. Probation is not a "get out of jail free" card.
I know that pretty hard core but some how you can.
ADDED: See discussion page:
A suspended imposition of sentence (SIS) is a closed record after probation is successfully completed.
The question is a little unclear - but if the probation was terminated it should mean that you had completed your sentence to the satisfaction of the judge. However, the charge for which you received the sentence of probation will remain on your criminal history record.
If you have a felony on your record a FOID won't be granted, regardless of driving record.
Not enough specific information is supplied in the question in order to answer completely.If you were convicted of a felony, pronounced guilty, and received probation as your sentence, you are STILL a convicted felon whether you successfully completed your probation or not.If you received probation before the court adjudged you - contingent upon your completing probation satisfactorily - (usually referred to as PBJ), AND you were subsequently declared Not Guilty by the court, then the record of your conivction SHOULD be clear of a felony conviction.HOWEVER: Arrest records maintained by the law enforcement agency and your court record will always reflect that you were arrested and charged with a felony.Unless you petitioned and had your record expunged your record will still exist, and this could cause you some problems.For a completely felony-clear record you should take action to have your record expunged. CAUTION: Even if expunged, although no longer available to "the public" the record of your conviction, or non-conviction, will ALWAYS be available to government agencies, law enforcement, and the courts.

Yes, any felony will show on a persons record, even a deferred sentence will still show on a record.
In Arizona a class 3 dangerous felony can have a maximum sentence of up to 15 years with no prior record. A dangerous class 3 felony is not eligible for probation.
He probably has to check in with his probation/ parole officer.
It sounds to me like you were convicted and that probation is your sentence. If you fail probation, what would happen? Yes, you need to put it on your application if it is still on your record.
Yes, you have been convicted. Your plea of Nolo Contendre meant that you acknowledged that the state had enough evidence to convict you. PROBATION IS A SENTENCE! Your probation WAS a sentence for the guilty plea. A record of both your arrest and the court disposition does exist.
Yes, a felony drug charge should typically show up on an employment background check. Background checks typically include criminal records, and a felony charge is a serious offense that is likely to be included in the report. However, the specific policies of the employer and the type of background check being conducted can affect what information is included in the report.
The only way is to obtain the application requirements or to apply yourself. However if you have any felony offenses on your record you might as well not waste your time.
