Hi,
I want to start this thread to find out how exactly are visas annotated for people with past arrests or convictions. In my case it said:

"Fingerprints checked. Not an ineligibility."

I think it means that they did a fingerprint check even though the name was not located in the consular lookout system. If it was a CLASS hit, they'd have mentioned that? At least this is what I read in the Foreign Affairs Manual.

Please respond so that we all get an idea of how this annotation system works; what kind of arrests/convictions are in the consular database, etc. etc.

Thanks
