Could anyone advice me to where would be a good source to find out if you have a record with the FBI the reason is when i was younger i got into trouble and even got arrested but for some reason i cant remember if i was fingerprinted. Thanks
You can get your own background check from the FBI. The instructions and form are on their website. Google for it.

It's a form I was given and I went to one of those passport/visa photo shops and the gal there took my fingerprints which went on that FBI form, stamped a notary seal on the form and checked my drivers licence. And I think I also needed a money order for $18 too if I recall the amount correctly. I requested my record from the FBI in late October and still haven't gotten it nor did I get any acknowledgement of receipt either I'm getting kind of impatient because I need that to figure out how to get court dispositions and what not for all my arrests and encounters.
But you might also be able to get something similar from those online places that do empoyee and fiancee background checks.
Come to think of it, those passport/visa stores would quite possibly have copies of that form so maybe try one of them?

You not only have to worry about the FBI, you need to worry about State and local systems too. Not all crimes are reported to the FBI, but the State still has a record and can issue a person a SID number.

What i wrote in my post is pretty clear i got arrested for possesion of marijuana it wasnt alot under a gram it resulted in me doing community service and paying a fine with that been completed the offense was erased from my record now with that been said my question is would that show up when i do my fingerprints when i go for mor my immigrant visa through which im getting through my wife
Depending on the actual charge and disposition, it likely will for an exception without the need to file any waiver form. You have not provided sufficient detail to say any more than that.

If you were fingerprinted, yes, it probably will. Don't try to hide it as the LIE will be held against you as fraud and misrepresentation.
Any charge of marijuana possession under 30 grams has it's own special waiver. Also, if it was not made clear to the person arrested that signing a plea bargain for community service would have immigration consequences in the future(as opposed to pleading not guilty and being aquitted by a court) then the potential immigrant's rights have been violated and that in itself can also be brought up as a defence(but I suspect only if AOS within the USA is being pursued as opposed to the consular path).
Thats one of my points they did not inform me about the immigration consequences i thought they where under the impression i was a citizen but would it show up when i take my fingerprints at the consulate and where in the U S could i have my wife get more legit info this matter. Thanks

The United States consists of 50 States, D.C., Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of Northen Mariana Islands plus the Federal Government. Each of those 56 jurisdictions codifies various drug possessions in multiple codes: Criminal, Penal, Health & Safety, Welfare & Institutions, Public Health, Business & Professions etc... Then there are local County and Municipal codes and ordinances on top of those. In all these cases they are further confused by the actual statute passed by the legislature vs. the implementing regulations put out by the agencies charged with enforcing the laws and the judicial interpretations of the statutes and regulations.
You have not identified the jurisdiction or specific legal citation that appears on your court disposition or identified the citation that governed your penalty.
Someone working on your behalf would need this basic information to analyze the immigration consequences.
