Thank you all for your responses. I'm just at the point where I'm questioning everything, and I don't want to end up sending too much info. I think I have my packet together and will be mailing it this week. Yes, I am including my certified records from that offense, and I am being very transparent and providing all necessary info. I was just considering including my most recent background check as well but wasn't sure if I should. By various applications, I just mean any kind of application that asks, such as employment applications, housing applications, bank applications, etc.; I am legally allowing to say I have not been convicted of a crime.

I was arrested for credit card fraud 25 years ago. I served probation and adjudication of guilt was withheld, which means I do not a conviction on my record, and I can legally answer "no" to the "Have you ever been convicted or a crime?" question on various applications. I have not been involved in any legal trouble since. I know I still have to submit my records from that arrest, which I do have. My question is: I have to complete an FBI background check with fingerprinting every 5 years for my job. Would it be to my benefit to include my most recent FBI report with my I-129F packet? Or should I wait and see if they request it, assuming they're going to do their own background check anyway?
