I consulted an immigration lawyer and they told me that proactively sending USCIS anything could hurt my case by overexplaining. The petitioner (my fiance) will get his court documents certified as they come but unfortunately he has nothing so far since he hasn't gone to court yet. I was assured that things will be fine since answering "No" that he has never been arrested WAS true at the time of sending in the application, it wouldn't be a problem. Just hoping that an RFE or anything wouldn't put too many road blocks.. Any thoughts?

Hello all, My fiance, the US citizen petitioner, was arrested for a DUI literally the day after submitting our I-129F. He's incredibly remorseful and has quit drinking and is getting help through a therapist. Unfortunately, when we filed the petition, the answer was an honest "No" on Part 3 Item number 4.a "Have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance in any country, excluding traffic violations (unless a traffic violation was alcohol- or drug- related or involved a fine of $500 or more)?" But now the answer would be a "Yes" NOW if I am understanding this correctly. We already have our NOA1 and this arrest happened after we had already submitted it. What is our next steps? Should we wait for an RFE? Any other advice? The problem is, the only document he has right now is the arrest record since the DUI charge is still pending and it hasn't gone to court yet.
