Drugs convictions - Will the USC have to note them down?

[HeyCupcake85 0]

Hi everyone!

Ive been busy reseaching and prepping files for the petition.

In one of the questions on the i-129 file it askes about 3 or more drug use related convictions. Now my fiance, the USC, has had 2 drug related issues with posession, not drug use.

Would he still need to check that box and give more details eventhough its not related to drug use and isn't more than 3 convictions?

Would it be advisable to add an extra sheet with the details explaining what they are just to be honest?

Any advice would be appreciated

was he arrested and convicted of the charge? yes that is definitely what i would do, because they are going to find out anyway.

NO NO NO. He has 2 convictions. The question on the form is about whether he has 3 or more. The answer is no. Simply answer "NO" and get on with life. This is a non-issue on the petitioner side in this case.

FWIW, being charged with drug possession is related to drug use.

Since he doesn't have 3 convictions then the answer is no but you should have copies of the court documents showing the outcome of the cases as it isn't uncommon for the interviewer to ask a Fiancee about the USC's criminal history at interview if they find something in the background checks.

The actual question is..."Have you ever been convicted by a court of law (civil or criminal) or court martialed by a military tribunal for three or more convictions for crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol not arising from a single act." Two is not three or more, so the answer is NO, whether possession or use. Neither possession or use are mentioned in the question.

Thanks very much for the fast replies! One of the reasons why I love this site!

Alrighty, seeing as it's only 2 I'll just tell him to check the NO box. Just wanted to get other peoples opinion on the matter to be on the safe side
