Temporary Restraining Order, do I need to report it?

In 2007 I got into a self defense minor physical scuffle with a drunk aquaintance. Police were called, no arrest were made. It doesn't pertain to the (Part 3, #1 Specific Crimes) listed on page 6. He filed a TRO on me so I filed one on him. Do I need to check yes or no on page 8, #1?

Was it upheld or thrown out in court? A TPO only goes until the court date where it then becomes a restraining order. 

 

I have not submitted my i-129, but I included a similar one. It asks for any restraining order. My ex filed on against me that was thrown out of court. So, it never became an actual restraining order. 

 

That being said TPO's and the like are scary. You need nothing but your word to file one against somebody and once you do file one they will always have to report it. Even if it is not upheld.

Yes, It was upheld. I never fought it but it is not on the specific crime list specified on the instruction sheet.

No need to report it to USCIS on the form.

It asks on page 8, part 3 question 1. The exact question is have you ever had a temporary restraining order taken against you whether criminal or civil.

Yes, but on pg. 6 instuctions it doesn't fall under any of the specic crimes mentioned.
