Me and my fiance from Philippines are getting ready to start the K1 visa application and on the I-129F it asks about if you have criminal history even expunged. Has anyone here or know of being approved for such things and mine involved substance and drug possession but its expunged. Im so concerned and sad about this anyone with any info please help me?

Who has the criminal history?

I think you'll be fine as long as you (and your fiance' when she interviews) never lie or try to hide information. In the webpage below it says they are mainly looking to protect the beneficiary from abuse/child trafficking/human trafficking. Good luck

 

I have a criminal record. Can I petition for my fiance to come to the US? - Kannan Law Firm (san-diego-abogado.com)

Congratulations on 10+ years of getting your life back on track. You need to do a bit more than “ mention” all three. 
Do an FBI fingerprint ( inexpensive and easily available). 
For each arrest submit a request for certified sentencing minutes to the relevant court.
The first one goes to Juvenile Court and will come back either w no record or records sealed.

The 2nd ( no charges) will show no record 

The 3rd ( expunged ) will also show no record. 
Add a short one line description ( similar to your post) for each incident to the I-129F . Submit copies of the FBI rap sheet and Court responses and give originals to your Fiancé to carry at interview.
