I am a US Citizen filed for my foreign fiance in Aug 2012 and we received REF for missing the question,

"Have you ever been convicted by a court of law (civil or criminal) or court-martialed by a military tribunal for any of the following crimes:

-Domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, dating violence, elder abuse, and or stalking.

-Homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture, trafficking, peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction, unlawful criminal restraint, false imprisonment, or an attempt to commit any of these crimes.

-Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol on three or more occasions and such crimes did not arise from a single act. "

I left it blank because I thought it only applies if you met your fiancé(e) or spouse through the services of an international marriage broker.

I need to answer YES or NO.

My concern is, I had a misdemeanor (petit larceny) charge back in 2010 I do not know if I need to answer YES and provide all the documents relating to that charge. Or answer NO because it was not a case of domestic violence, sexual assault or controlled substance/alcohol.

Please advise, thank you so much for your time.

i would answer no. one because you wernt convicted by a court of law as the wording states, and two because the crime is not in that list.

the question does not ask have you committed any crime in the last x amount of time. now if it did i wouldn't lie, but it doesn't so i dont see why you would have to mention it.
