On the I-751, it asks, "Have you ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance (excluding traffic regulations), or committed any crime which you were not arrested in the United States or abroad?"

My partner was detained when entering the U.S. He was seeking asylum and was ultimately released into the U.S. after being held for about 15 days. (There were never any criminal charges for this, and he was able to remain here and is now a legal permanent residence through our marriage.)

The I-751 asks you to submit documentation of criminal history. We are struggling to figure out what kind of documentation to include and who/where to get it from, even after reading the I-175 instructions. Can someone please help? 

Hello, everyone!

Before we were married, my spouse was in removal proceedings. The case was administratively closed (Obama era).

Fast forward some years, and we are now married, and he recently received his I-485 approval and card (yay!). Our lawyer we hired for this has instructed us to now go back to the original lawyer (in another state), so she can make a motion to recalendar and dismiss or terminate the original case/removal proceedings.

Has anyone been in this situation? Any idea how long this will take or have any other information we should know? We knew we would need to do this, but I am not sure what it entails, and we are waiting to hear back from the original lawyer, who we have asked to help do this.

Thanks for any info you can offer!
