Juvenile Records during Interview

[fpm899]

I am going to the interview with my wife, who is my petitioner. I have never been arrested but i was detained when I was 17 years old for putting my name on a sidewalk in front of my friends house. I did not have to pay for anything, was not put in any type of probation or anything like it. The officer never appeared when I went to court, i.e. the basement of the court house, so nothing happened regarding this issue. I was wondering whether I should bring this up during the interview or does it not matter because it was not an arrest and I was under 18 at the time. Also, just for more information my fingerrprints and pictures were never taken during this incident. P.s. When I apply for citizenship should I bring this up or not? Thank you for your help.

What did you fill out in the form where it asks if you have been arrested or have any records?

My recommendation will be not to say anything unless they ask you about it. Less is better in these cases.

You were detained and were given a court date, so there is a record of the incident and you have to disclose it.
