You wont have a problem just submit doc proofs that the case already settled and he already served on it. You could read it in the 129F instructions.

No you do not have to pay the $455.00 for the I-129F if your filing for K3. Fee will be waived by USCIS.

Good Luck.

Pass his criminal records? I have no idea what you mean. The part of your message I bolded is odd. Having a relationship "to" a minor woman? That isn't a criminal offence. Having sexual contact with her might be. What was the offence? How old was HE at the time?

Might not be IMBRA related, but apparently it is Adam Walsh Act related -- check into that.

do we need to submit his criminal record together with I-129f?, his criminal record was about having a relation with 17 yrs old (have sexual contact) and he was 18yrs old that time? do we need to comply with Imbra with this matter? or just submit and disclose his criminal records at USCis buy submtting it?

To comply with IMBRA you're going to have to disclose this by checking yes in the box that says he has a criminal record that is covered by IMBRA. I don't know what the instructions on the application say if you check yes in that box. What does it say? I'd suggest if you have the criminal record, you should send a copy of it. If not, you might just get an RFE after mailing in the petition.

There is a forum here on VJ called IMBRA. You might want to go to that forum and read a couple of threads, particularly the recent ones on those who have sexual criminal convictions.
