I have a questions about my I-129F application. It states that I need to list any "convictions" that might be on my record. I was arrested for CDV (criminal domestic violence). My EX-wife falsely accused me of this and of course police seem to always believe the woman if she is convincing enough. Anyway, we went to court and I was found innocent. I have no convictions......but I now have an arrest record. Do I have to list this and provide a police report? I have not yet mailed my I-129F form yet because I was not clear on this issue.

You only need to list 'convictions', the arrest is irrelevant. No need for a police record from the petitioner if there are no 'convictions'.

BTW...Technically you were found 'not guilty'. Courts do not determine 'innocence'.

This is correct. The OP's question indicates a weakness when it comes to reading carefully, interpreting literally and answering accurately. With that in mind, I'd suggest going back over the "petition" (It's not an application.) with a fine tooth comb, being extremely diligent at reading carefully, interpreting literally and answering accurately. If he's not confident he can do this, then I recommend getting the assistance of somebody who can.

Wrong. These forums are only helpful if people can come here and get accurate information in answer to their questions.

See below...

Have you ever been convicted by a court of law (civil or criminal) or court martialed by a military tribunal for any of thefollowing crimes:

The OP was not convicted of any crime. He simply answers "no" to question and gets on with the visa process.
