I am a US citizen and I got arrested for theft and got convicted of disorderly conduct 20 years ago. Will this be a problem with my 129f? I disclosed everything on the form.

What was the disposition of the case? If this was the only charge/conviction on your record you should be fine but you will have to disclose everything when you file.

Sorry just checked the disposition and it says

 

 CHARGE DESCRIPTION

Dis Con: Create Hazardous Condition

 

and it was a Violation not a Misdemeanor

No it will or should not be an issue to file a K1, as long as you disclose it in the application. 

 

If you are very worried then you can always go the spousal visa route.

  • Jan 26, 2021 = NOA 1 for I-129F (K1 Visa application)
  • Sep 8, 2021 = NOA 2 for I-129F (K1 Visa application)
  • Nov 16, 2021 =  K1 visa issued in Islamabad, Pakistan
  • Jan 20, 2022 = POE Dallas, Texas
  • Feb 14, 2022 = AOS (I-451, I-131, I765) Filed
  • Feb 20, 2022 = Receipt notice for all three received
  • March 21, 2022 = Biometrics in Dallas, Texas
  • August 9, 2022 = EAD (I-751 approved)
  • August 13, 2022 = EAD and SSN received (SSN applied with EAD)
  • September 6, 2022 = AP (I-131 approved)
  • September 13, 2022 = AP (I-131 receieved) 
  • March 15, 2023 = I-485 approved (interview waived, New SSN received without DHS wording)
  • March 31, 2023 = GC in hand (Total time from NOA-1 to GC in hand 794 days)

I was arrested when in 1991 and disclosed this on my application.  If I were you I would get out in front of it and get something from the court showing the disposition... they sent me an RFE asking me for something from the court and it cost me an extra 4 months.


may I ask you what the charges were? What boxes did you check off on the i129f?

Why would it be ok for a spouse, but not a fiancé?

Hit and run. Keep in mind they’re not judging you (ostensibly). They’re asking you questions and as long as you provide truthful answers (and your fiancée is aware of your past misdeeds) it’s not a big deal. What becomes an issue are lies and omissions IMO.

Spousal visa is a higher category immigrant visa, again as long as you disclose it shouldn't be an issue either way.
