A little RFE Response Help

[HulkySun 4]

Hey ya'll, I Got a RFE - I followed  advice from somebody who said 'do not check off the 4a' (or I read the advise out of context). I did this since I already wrote YES on I-129f  2.c  saying I been arrested 3 times in early life and I gave all the information I could.  Note these are the only issues I have to report for criminal history.

 

4a. blank - meaning not answering yes or no.   I think I left blank

 

That said, How do I answer 4a. ??? As in the instructions for i-129f states : 

 

"Item Number 4.a. Criminal Information. Indicate whether you have ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance in any country, for any offenses other than those you have already outlined in the previous section. Unless a traffic incident was alcohol- or drug-related or involved a fine of $500 or more, you do not need to provide information on it."

 

Since my arrests were outlined in the previous section on the form do I answer Yes or No to the RFE:    I am thinking about putting NO and then writing a statement why I said no which is because in 2c they have my additional supporting documents. 

 

Aside from all this, is it safe to say this is good news because the rest of the application is fine? Did they already do a background check at this point? so my 2c responses and evidence are sufficient ?

 

:)) thanks.  (arrests were 2 dwi in the 90's and possession dismissed with arrest expunged but still disclosed it all)

That sounds good.

They want to know if there is anything in addition to what was previously disclosed.   If there is nothing else,  the answer is NO

Cheers guys,

So aside from question 4,  Does this mean they checked over the rest of the i-129f?     Would I get a list of issues if more things had to be corrected?

Typically,  but a second RFE is possible but rare
