Lol ? thank you

Thank you so much. No. My fiance just answered no to all the questions and he didn't disclose his arrest records. Although i know i might be ask during the interview but i'll be prepared for it. We'll update so other future k1 visa petitioners will have an idea.

Hello everyone! My fiance emailed our I-129F June 26 and he just got an email this evening July 2 saying our petition has been accepted and routed to CSC. Hoping and praying for a speedy approval with no RFEs. God bless to all of us

Okay, arguing about whether or not the theft charge was an actual conviction or not seems silly. The instructions from the form were posted in this thread already. It makes absolutely no difference whether or not the theft was technically a conviction or not. Theft is not one of the crimes stated in the instructions that a USC petitioner must disclose.
The disclosure of past convictions for certain crimes is part of the IMBRA law. It ONLY pertains to the types of crimes that are stated in the instructions and on the form. Theft is not among them. The sexual assault is, but there was no conviction there. End of story. The USC petitioner is free to check NO.
Again, here are the instructions>
3. What Documents Must You Submit to Comply With IMBRA?

a. If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submit certified copies of all court and police
records showing the charges and dispositions for every conviction. You must do so even if your records were sealed
or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no
longer have a record.

(1) Domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, dating violence, elder abuse, and stalking.
The term "domestic violence" includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a current or
former spouse of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, by a person who is
cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse, by a person similarly situated to a spouse of
the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction receiving grant monies, or by any other
person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person's acts under the domestic or family
violence laws of the jurisdiction.

(2) Homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture, trafficking,
peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint,
false imprisonment, or an attempt to commit any of these crimes.

(3) Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol on three or more occasions, where such crimes did not arise
from a single act.

My fiance and I are about to submit our K1 Visa Petition to USCIS. We want to ask if my fiance (the petitioner) need to disclosed his arrest records in the past. He had no convictions. The first one was dismissed and the second one he was given "Withheld Adjudication" and served probation which he completed. We know that the USCIS will do a background check on him. Is it necessary to disclosed the arrest records or should we just let them find out on their own since there were only arrest made and no convictions?

We are very honest in answering the questions, that's why we want to make sure if we still need to disclosed about the arrests since they're only asking about the CONVICTIONS and he NEVER HAD any convictions. Thank you for replying
