K1 Visa and Criminal Record for the Petitioner

[JayHouser 209]

I mentioned this briefly in my other thread but felt like it should be addressed as its own topic.

 

From my understanding of looking through old forum posts only certain crimes have to be disclosed by the petitioner. I have a petty theft (adjudication withheld) from 2009 and one petty theft conviction from 2012 that are on me, the US citizens record. Do I need to attach police reports for these incidents. I noticed on the I129 that it asks if you have any record of any crime at all. Not just the IMBRA ones. Anyways I got my life together 6 years ago and went back to college and got my bachelors, got a steady well paying job and several promotions, and even got into physical shape so I am not that kind of person anymore. Do I need to attach some letter of explanation defending myself, because I could attach my degree to my form to show what I have done with my life since then. My fiancee is aware of the offenses as well.  Thanks again!

I am wondering if I had posted this in the right section,  but I noticed on the I129 it only asks you to provide documents for certain crimes but to provide information for others. Should I include documents anyway to prevent RFE? ( 4a and 4b)
