I was detained for a misunderstanding in my country in 20XX for a couple of hours and released without any charges or even paperwork. 5 years later, when I applied for a green card, I provided a "Criminal Information Certificate" stating that I have no criminal record or open cases etc.

Now,

  1. The section "Arrests Without Charges" under "Evidence" section in N-400 form asks to upload an arrest report. Is the report from 2019 that I used for Green Card is good enough or do I need to get a new one from 2025?
  2. Since I answered YES on the question "Have you EVER been arrested, cited, detained..." under "Crimes and Offenses" section, it now asks me "If you received a suspended sentence, were placed on probation, or were paroled, have you completed your suspended sentence, probation, or parole?". I need to answer YES or NO. But, even though I was detained for a misunderstanding, as stated above, this question is irrelevant to me. The system allows me to ignore this question though and I can just click "NEXT". Should I just ignore it then? It's very confusing.

Is this required in order for people to respond to this post? It'll just take me a while to fill up the timeline. But if it is a requirement in order for people to respond, I'll try to do it as soon as possible.

It is not a requirement.  It is very nice to have.  Best of luck in getting an answer!  Wish I could help!
