Dissmissed charges count as convictions?

[Hopeisalive 0]

I had minor in possession of alcohol. 5 in total, But 2 were dismissed in court by county procecutor, i was convicted of 3 and each time given a small amount of probation time, sucessfully completed. I know i have to check and disclose, not a problem. But do i disclose the dismissed charges or not.

I am asking again, for the fact we are putting our documents in and i need to know now, as we are going to mail our package out by next week.

Thanks

if it asks if you have ever been or charged for a crime or arrested then you have to disclose even the ones that were dismissed because they will still be on your record.

just my opinion

I believe it asks if you've been convicted not charged. Am I right? Because if you are charged with something is quite different than being convicted. Being charged can result in being found innocent. Coviction is a result of being found guilty. What does it say? Charged or convicted?

No prob. But that's just my opinion. I don't have any experience or specific knowledge to base it on. And I could be wrong.

If you were ever convicted yes

All arrests you must list even if charges dropped or dismissed or expunged.

For a k1 visa? What is your source for petitioner must list arrests? OP, did you ever ask a lawyer about this? I know it's been a while since you posted this.

My apologies

If you fall under the AWA you will need to list all Arrests for any charge no matter the disposition of the case.

USCIS will request in the RFE certified copies of all arrests.

idk, i guess ill see what happens now, i hope i did the this right. i gave them the court n arrest papers that they gave to me at the courthouse. I did not included the dismissed for the fact it stated for convictions. Ill repost here if i do recieve an rfe to let anyone else know.
