We answered the questions in Part C correctly (nothing checked) on the I129f although a record exists for other crimes ... would that effect an approval?

You have to be more specific on what the crime is. Although I can not think of question C right at this point because I have already sent in my petition, it would be best to put down any thing the person has been arrested for, even a driving offense. It is best to be truthful and specific than to try and hide it and they find out later. They will think you tried to lie to them. I am not an expert but this is what my lawyer had told me when I had a similar situation. WJR

I'm not sure that's good advice. The section asks if the petitioner committed any of those specific crimes. Writing anything else down that's not related will only convolute the process. There is a criminal background check done at some point, but for the K-1 , I-129F form, I would only answer to the questions that are being asked and nothing more.

...as to the OP's question - I would recommend consulting with an immigration attorney on whether it will affect your approval. That way you do so in strict confidence. :star: Good luck.

I would have to say that I am not sure if my advice was good either. Only because I can not remember what the question was. Also, the advice that was given by my lawyer was pertaining to my fiance not of myself. I am just trying to help and seeing as your concerned about your record than my answer would not help. Sorry not trying to confuse you.
