Thank you.
I appreciate all your help. I didn't mean to sound repetitive. I have always done all my paperwork myself and I always prefer to double, triple and quadruple check everything before I sent anything so there is almost no chance anything will be delayed.. etc.
It's crazy all the forms and fees we have to go through but it has to be done.

Wait a minute... someone tell me if this is right?..
It states,

20. Have you ever been arrested, detained, charges, indicated, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance (excluding traffic regulations), or commited any crime which you were not arrested in the United States or abroad?

Upon re-reading for the millionth time... I am focusing on "for breaking or violating any law or ordinance"...
Personally I am still unsure if I was technically detained.. however I was not detained for breaking or violating and law or ordinance. If I was detained it was because I didn't have the proper paperwork which isnt a law or ordinance right?...

On other thing,
when it says, Place of Marraige :
Does it mean the state and country or does it want the name of the church?..

Okay thank you!

I was happy when I read your response, however I looked up the definition of detained;

verb (used with object)

1.

to keep from proceeding; keep waiting; delay.

2.

to keep under restraint or in custody.

3.

Obsolete. to keep back or withhold, as from a person.

So I was detained... I dont know who to call. I tried the freedom of information site but it says that it usually takes 12 months to get the information...

I was refused entry into the States.
Because I had no paperwork in the works yet they stated that they believed I was going to go there and stay there.
I was in a little room and I told them that I was unaware that I needed paperwork to go through and they eventually believed me and and told me I have to go back to Canada and then once I have all the proper paperwork I can return.
All this was taken down on file, I had a bit of trouble at my fiancee visa interview in Vancouver over it.
And still to this date when I leave to go visit family and then come back I get pulled to the side so they can check things on their computer, then I go through afterward.
It depends entirely on who you step up to at the border/customs, Ive had friends who were engaged, no paperwork and they were let it no problem, others who were told the same thing, others who needed to have a visa/paperwork.

In the 485 it asks if I've been removed with government expenses. I had not been. It does not ask about being detained.

Okay so Iam at the 3 month mark to send in my I715 removal of conditions. The problem is there is one box that i am unsure how to check. Under 'criminal history' it states that one must state and give proof if one had ever been arrested or detained and it did not send in a conviction.

Here is my problem, years ago when i became engaged i tried to come to the states and spend a month with my then fiancé, but i wasn't aware that i couldn't come into the country without a via while i was engaged so they detained me. They sent me back to Canada and i got my visa, moved, got married, and got my green card.

So I think i need to check the little box that i have been detained but i am unsure how to get the letter stating that there was no conviction.

Help, anyone? Please?
