Do you still have the original police report and Subject Access Report? I gave copies to the Embassy in London and sent notarized copies with my AOS.
It seems strange that they would be so interested - I think that they made a mistake by not understanding that a caution means that you don't go to court. I only had police certificate and subject access letter (which was just a letter from New Scotland Yard containing charge, court date and outcome). The information that they are asking for is normally required for naturalization, not AOS.
Did you request the arrest report with the Subject Access? If not, apply for it now (you will need it at some point).
Assuming you didn't omit any information that you considered to be "stepped down" such as getting into trouble as a juvenile you shouldn't have a problem.
Point out that you were cautioned and released which meant that you were not charged with the offence and did not go to court. Notarize any documents that you send and follow Nich/Nick's advice.
I am sure you will be fine, there is no way this crime would prevent AOS.
Good luck!

Here's people I remember off the top of my head who got AP in London
Knight and Magpie 4 weeks - female born in India, left as infant, British citizenship
Linkin-4 weeks -student in UK-India
MARM - 6 months-Pakistani student in UK- http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=57966
Treehugger- male-white british born and bred- 7-8 months then never heard from him again-no common name, travel, etc. ticked no boxes
DairyFarmer-2 months -Australian female
Bad Dogi- 8 weeks- fiance was middle Eastern. He didn't name country.

Well I hope it either explains what you have is all there is or buys you some time. And I re-read the form and it does say ever committed a crime in or out of the US so I was wrong. You needed to report it.
I'm not very versed in crimes so wish somebody else from the UK that had something to explain on their police record would say what they included. Hey I just thought of somebody who's been active again in the naturalization forum. He's very smart and posted recently he was arrested when he was 9 years old or something like that. He did AOS easily so maybe ask him. His name is Darren and comes from Cambridge. Send him a private message. Here he is http://www.visajourney.com/forums/user/48120-darren-and-crissy/

I'm just a VJ member with no legal background or expertise. But I would respond to the RFE in writing and send a copy of the RFE notice with it. Address the envelope with a notation on the outside "Response to RFE" to it gets routed properly. Send with delivery confirmation, Priority mail, etc. It may not be what they asked for, but you can at least respond prior to Feb 1 so they don't think you are ignoring it.
Write your letter so it is concise. Things I would include are--

The arrest in question was {date],in the United Kingdom for stealing a pack of cigarettes worth $4.95 when you were ___ years old (if a teen.) (or ____ years ago if you were an adult) Don't mention drunkeness if it's not on the report.
You were charged with [name of crime], paid for the cigarettes, and were released without further fine, going to court, or serving time in jail. A caution was put on your record.
You provided the required documents available on the case to the consulate officer who interviewed you at the US Embassy in London, England for a K1 Fiance visa. After reading the report and discussing the incident, he concluded that you were not inadmissable to the United States.
Because the case did not go before a judge, there are no [take some words from the RFE] documents that I can provide. Everything the United Kingdom has on file has been provided on the police report dated [date] and the Subject Access Report dated [date]. There are no further documents to provide for consideration.
The only original documents are in the file which came from London and were turned over when you entered the United States. The USCIS should already have those originals in your A-file. You can get more originals of the same documents they have on file, but it will take 40 days according to the Association of Chief Police Officers in The United Kingdom.

Sum it up with-- I received this RFE notice for the first time on [date] with only with ___ days to respond. Please advise me if you would like for me to get more original copies of the documents you already have in my A-file and if I can be granted 60 days extension to get those from the United Kingdom. I have never been in trouble except for this one incident. Please inform me of anything I can do to keep a $5.00 theft in my past from separating me from my US citizen wife.
Include something at the end like "I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the above is a true statement based on all information of which I have knowledge."
That's about all I have in the way of ideas. Take a copy of the response to your infopass appointment.

Like I said earlier azopenmic, it's not about honesty, dishonesty or any kind of moral "point".
It's about what the rules are. And the rules for K1 entrants is removal of conditions after 2 years.
The card your wife got in the mail was an error. Human beings at the Service make these documents by hand. They don't come out of machine that's already got your details in it. Somebody who was either new on the job or tired at the end of the day made a mistake on her plastic card.
My husband's original greencard said he was from Ireland. He's not. He's from Northern Ireland, which is an entirely different country. Since this wasn't a deal breaker, he kept the card. When we removed the conditions from the 2 year card, he had to go for biometrics. When he was with the biometric collector, he pointed the error on his card. She then began to explain to him how cards are made, and how mistakes can happen. She showed him the list of countries and their abbreviations - someone should have selected the UK as my husband's country of birth. Believe it or not in the USCIS system, "UK" does not stand for the United Kingdom - it stands for Ukraine. The clerk making my husband's first card should have looked a bit further for the USCIS abbreviation of "GB" for Great Britain. But, the clerk making my husband's first card obviously new nothing about geography, or was brand new on the job, or was tired, and ended up selecting "IR" for his card.
Anyway, our story doesn't relate to your situation insofar as exact experience. But I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that your wife's card is an error. And the error will not obviate the necessity for the rules of her entry.

Hiya, I've about this issue posted before in the AOS forum but now as events have unfolded my questions are more UK centric and was wondering if anyone here might have some insight or info for me.
I am from London and now live in NY, AOSing from a K-1 fiance visa. We got married last winter and sent away our AOS application in the spring, USCIS received it, got my work and travel authorization early this summer as well as notice that our case was forwarded to the CSC (which typically means quicker approval/no interview, according to what we'd heard) and have been waiting for the green card ever since. Signed up for email and text updates but only ever got the ones about them receiving the application way back when. Have read that it can take six months or more for the green card to come through, and besides, could work and travel, so have just been waiting patiently all this time until decided to check USCIS.gov on a whim on December 12 and saw they sent us an RFE on November 11! We have been at the same address all this time, and have never received an RFE in the mail or any text or email saying they sent one.
Called USCIS the next day (Dec 13) and spoke to a supervisor, and was told they would resend the RFE and it should arrive within 15 days. (It arrived January 10). Also made an INFOPASS appt for the soonest I could, which was Dec 28. At INFOPASS, they sent me to an office upstairs where I dealt with the first very helpful human in the flesh in this entire process. He looked at my paperwork and said that everything looked in order, and that he couldn't see what the RFE (that we still haven't received) is for, but that he did show that our case was moved to be adjucated on December 16. This would have been three days after I called on the 13th to say we hadn't received the RFE they mailed November 11. (According to people on the forum, this meant it had been sent for approval or interview.) He gave me a form email to send out to USCIS that says we still had not received the RFE from either date, and if they needed any further information from us to contact us. He seemed to think this meant that someone else looked at my case when they got the notice to re-send the RFE, that person decided the RFE might not matter, and that I'd receive my green card soon. So sent the form email, called them twice to make sure they'd marked down that I'd sent it, and went back to waiting.
Then got the RFE in the mail, FINALLY, last week, January 10. Almost a full month since we lodged the complaint that it hadn't arrived, and two months after they initially sent it. It says our response is due Feb 1. They are requesting court dispositions and arrest reports. I was arrested in 2004 for stealing cigarettes (while drunk, I was young and foolish, a one time thing, and paid for them after being arrested), given a caution, charges dropped, no court date. For the K-1 visa process I of course got my my police certificate and subject access form, which stated that no charges were pressed and a caution was given. My interviewer at the London Embassy asked about it briefly during my interview, and when I explained he said, "But it never happened again, right?" and I said this was correct and he breezed right through and that was that. I sent in the subject access form again (a copy, not the original) with our AOS package. I'm not sure why they're suddenly interested in this, but the papers they want 1) don't exist, as there was no court date, and 2) in the time it's taken them to finally get this bloody RFE to me, I don't have time to get anything from the MPS or PNC in London stating that no records exist due to no charges being pressed, etc, because their standard turn around time is 40 days from receipt. This is quite the pickle and I am beyond frustrated.
If I'd received this RFE back in November, when they claimed to have originally sent it, I'd still have a hell of a time trying to get the papers that the American government requires that I don't think the English government actually produces in such a situation. I imagine this is all because I sent a copy instead of an original, and some stickler saw it and decided to make things more complicated and asked for more details. But now I have two weeks, basically, and nothing useful can be done. I am so upset if someone decides to deny my AOS because of this, even if it means I can re-apply (and pay the fee again).
Have made another INFOPASS appointment for Thursday this week, but was wondering if anyone here had ever heard of a situation like this, or had any advice as to what we should send them by Feb 1? Would it help if I type out exactly what the RFE is asking for?

Off the top of my head:
UK - US
Time-related:
Fortnight - no direct equivalent, but you be paid bi-weekly, which is the same thing.
Half past - get out of this habit! Better to say 'it's seven thirty', as you may be misunderstood if you say it's 'half-seven'
Car-related:
Lorry - Semi
Motorway - highway/freeway
Bonnet - hood
Boot - trunk
Miscellaneous:
Tap - faucet
Pavement - sidewalk (this I actually like!)
Lift - elevator
Flat - apartment
Terraced house - townhouse
Mobile - cell phone
Food:
Aubergine - eggplant
Coriander - cilantro
Courgette - zucchini
Babies:
Buggy - stroller
Cot - crib
Travel cot - pack 'n' play
Nappies - diapers
Dummy - pacifier
Other things to be aware of:
Most people are aware of the ou/o spelling difference (colour, etc.) but others are:
The double l vs. single l - i.e. travelled/traveled, cancelled/canceled
The s vs. z - i.e. apologise/apologize
Cheque vs. check
t vs. ed, etc. - i.e. dreamt/dreamed, whilst/while (and be prepared to be called pretentious if you insist on the former!)

You're a very smart man. In one day you've grasped what some never do.
My personal take on London is if USCIS approved a petition, then London is satisfied that the marriage has been proven or the fiances have met in person, are free to marry and intend to marry. People keep hauling photobooks, love letters, and Skype logs to London and they don't ever look at them. Ever! There was one guy who asked someone, did you bring any goofy pictures? I think that was more for his amusement than for the files.
My other hunch on London is that nobody goes over your files until the few minutes prior to you walking up to the interviewers window. The document lady gathers your passport, checks everything is there and such, and gets the file prepared to send back to the interviewer. He/she is always scanning your file as you approach. He asks a few questions he's found in your paperwork. He might ask you "Does your wife have any kids?" He knows the answer because he just skimmed her biographical page. He's checking to make sure you know there's a kid. Questions can be structured to make sure the immigrant is aware of what's on the other side of the pond for their protection.

The key is to be prepared and you're obviously not a leave-it-to-chance kind of guy. I am sure you will be well prepared and therefor have no problems!
