Hello. My fiancee and I are getting ready to do a K1 I129 Visa. 

I Devin the American sponsor recieved a Dui in 2016 in the state of Ohio and I dont even believe it is on my criminal backround anymore. It was a Misdemeanor that was supposed to be on my record for 2 years. 

Do I put this offense on the I129 form? And if so, will that Dui have any effect on the Decision for the K1 Visa?

Yes, you must disclose the charge and the disposition.  Failure to do so could result in a denial as late as after the interview.  Even expunged charges from years ago are available to immigration authorities.  An esteemed member here had a case denied for that very reason.

It's best to disclose all criminal history even if you've been told that your history has been expunged. In the past, they're more concerned about you disclosing the criminal history rather than the nature/severity of the crime itself. 

I learned the hard way, I hope YOU don't have to. Advice: learn, learn, learn.
