Section 4a

I am filling out my i129f and wanted to know if I need to include that I had a juvenile arrest that resulted in a misdemeanor. This was in 1993 and I was 13. Thanks everyone.

Steve, if I disclose it what information are they going to want? I live in Colorado and it happened in Michigan.

Typically they would want court records on the conviction.  If you cannot obtain it or if it doesn't exist, then provide as much detail as possible, both of the event and conviction, and the attempts of obtaining court records, including who you contacted and their responses.

Thanks again Steve. Would an fbi fingerprint and background check serve as evidence along with stating the conviction. I’m almost certain it’s not going to show anything because it went through juvenile court.

I'm almost certain that they don't need your FBI background check since they'll do their own. What they want is you doing the legwork and talking to local authorities and get the local information from where it happened. And if they can't give you anything then maybe at least a statement from court or whoever is in charge that they don't have any files anymore.

Every prior answerer had provided good information. Please heed their advice and disclose everything.
