I'm so confused. I thought that what I had to send in was a copy of the criminal record if my husband has had trouble with the law before. Well, he has. He was taken in for a P.I. about a year ago. I went to the counties jail website, and found the link to request a record be sent. I sent for it, and was sent back a criminal record for my husband that stated that he has not criminal background. Now I'm confused, because he has been arrested, but has no criminal background according to the paper I received back from the county. Should I check, NO, on the I751 form, when it asks if he has ever been arrested?

Our I751 needs to be sent in ASAP, as we are approaching the due date...and that's why I sent for the record....but now I don't know what to do....we are running out of time!

Was he booked (fingerprinted/photo) or just tossed into the drunk tank to sleep it off and let go with a warning?

If he was not charged and was not convicted he has no criminal record.

P.I. = Public Indecency (I am assuming).

Therefore it is clear from her post that her fiance was arrested and booked and jailed. You have 2 options and both will work fine.

1) Check Yes and put a side note that says (inquired with county and they have nothing on file + include letter you received)

2) Check No

India, gun buyback and steamroll.

I was assuming "public Intoxication" Silly me. I should really try to be more dramatic.

Should I check, NO, on the I751 form, when it asks if he has ever been arrested?
(I almost forgot to answer this) Read thoroughly, interpret literally, and answer completely and honestly. If he has been arrested, you MUST check "yes." Include the relevant information that's asked for, along with supporting or explanatory materials. You say that he was "taken in," but what does that mean? It's the same confusion that the unexpanded abbreviation "P.I." caused for other respondents. To be helped, please be complete and precise in what you write, si man. Edited by TBoneTX
