I, the petitioner, had a DWI 12 years ago....

Hello Everyone,

 

I am about to begin the process for the cr-1 with my wife.  She has a clean record, but I was a bit more wild as a kid and had a dwi when I was 20 years old-which was reduced to a DWAI.  I was told after 10 years it would not be on my record....?  I also had a possession charge for probably 5 dollars worth of weed when I was 19.  Youth.  

 

I have had a clean record since but I am not sure if I need to provide arrest records for these charges?  And if so, what exactly is that process like?  I thought as the petitioner these things would not matter but Ive read otherwise.  Looking for some clear answers so I know what to do!  

 

 Thanks for your time!!!!!

Your past does not matter.  If you had committed an AWA crime, then it would matter.  You didn't, so you're past is irrelevant.
