Another I-751 question

[Rushton50 10]

In section 3 question 7 it asks;

Have you ever been arrested, detained, indicted , charged, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance (except for traffic violations) or committed any crime which you were not arrested in the united states or abroad?

On my DS-230 I declared my juvenile incident and supplied the paperwork to back up the incident, but do I have to tell them again for this question and submit the same paperwork?.....Its kind of confusing that they would ask this again?

advise appreciated

That catch all phase of "Have you ever..." would get a yes. You could state that the information has already been submitted and then if they issue an RFE for it, you provide it again. At least the FAA allows you to state already reported no change for health issues as they realize that once reported you keep answering yes because of the way they phase the question. Maybe the folks at USCIS will realize that they have the information and not request it again. I would still answer "yes" to the question. As to providing the information again or mentioning that it was previously reported is up to you.

Good luck,

Dave

I think the question on the I-751 applies to the period of time you've had your conditional green card.

I've got news, they will ask it again when/if you apply for citizenship. And your entire file of everything you've ever submitted to immigration is in a stack on the desk when they interview you. Their instructions tell them to go through your file carefully to see if their are any discrepancies in information you have given previously. So with that in mind, keep it consistent and read the question and instructions carefully.

To me, have you ever.... means ever in your whole life.
