Clear up arrest record for CR-1

[Biabarida 7]

Hello, 

 

I am sponsoring my Spanish wife and am filling out the I-130.

 

in 2007 I was arrested and let go without charge. I have no convictions. I don’t even have speeding tickets. I have not gotten the record sealed because it has never impacted my life before now.

 

it shows up in an FBI background check but just showing that I have a record, it makes no mention as to what it was, or that I was let go without charge.

 

I foresee this causing me problems in the application so I would like to head those problems off. What can I do to provide USCIS officers w the proper context to understand my situation. What forms should I provide and which file should I include those documents with.

 

what is the realistic impact that I should expect in the process of bringing my wife home?

Depends what the arrest was for, likely none.

I was swept up by police in a protest and then was released w.out charge. But a FBI background check just shows that I was arrested, it doesn’t state what for. 

 

I would just like to provide documentation to avoid an RFE on the subject and am wondering which file to include it in ( i.e. what step of the process do they check your criminal background)

As the USC it will not be an issue.

This is totally a non-issue for the petitioner.
