Form I-129: Section C Question 2

[paivaj_n_kubyaj 0]

I have questions about section C question 2 on the I-129 form....any help would be appreciated.

I had a case against me back in 08 but it was dismissed in 09 by the judge. I got off the hook because I follow the directions of the judge and the public defender. What I did or if you will say the crime I committed has nothing to do with all those listed or mention on section c, question 2, so I check no.

But what still concerns me is Part D where it says:

" More over, I understand that this petition, including any criminal conviction information that I am require to provide with this petition, as well as any related criminal background information pertaining to me the U.S and Immigration Services may discover independently in adjudicating this petition will be disclosed to the beneficiary of this petition."

What I am understanding is that even thought my case was not related to any of crimes mention on question 2, plus it has been dismissed, I should still submit any police record with the form, you know like just be open about it, right? It's better to be safe than sorry right? What do you think?

There might be people out there that has never gotten a tickets or into trouble with the law, but most people at least have gotten into trouble with the law once.

I have several traffic tickets in my years of driving but those are paid off, the fee were like $100-$200. The last ones were 2 cell phone tickets...got one in 2009 and a second in late 2010. I paid off the last one in early of 2011. I applied for my citizenship 2010, and the USCIS officer requested the police record, I went and got it from the court in my city, it says convicted for 1st cell phone ticket but it was not a big deal. The case was a little bigger but with it being dismissed I was approved for citizenship.

Let me ask do you guys still summit a police record regardless just to be on the safe side?

Let me know what you think I should do or don't need to do? Thanks...

If the crime was not one asked about you do not have to include it. That said, they may STILL disclose it to your fiancee so best of you tell her about it first. A shocked reaction at the interview does nothing to reinfirce the belief of a legitimate relationship.

They are known for saying things like "So what do you think about your fiancee being a criminal?" She would need to be able to respond concisely and plainly.

Will actually I am the fiancee and his is my fiance. He is in Laos. Im here in the USA...I'm going to sponsor him. I already told him about it. He doesn't mind. I just need to know if I should submit a police record even thought it was dismissed but mainly because it's not one of those mentioned on the form but it happened so I'm sure even thought it has been dismissed, USCIS will find it. I just really want to be on the safe side you know what i mean.

No. The question askes about specific crimes. If the answer to that question is NO, then you do not need to attach anything.

Paij,

If you have never been convicted of any of the following crimes listed in part C question #2, you do not need to check yes. So don't worry too much about the petition becoming in jeapordy. Good luck.

[Eddie&A 5]

Yes I agree as well. Simply check the no box and move on because you have never been convicted of the crimes they listed. You will be just fine. Good luck to the two of you

There may be a record of your arrest, but if the case was dismissed your not a criminal.
