Shoplifting and Immigration

One more question:-

If one of the person was not arrested and not finger printed but is listed as suspect in the police report. Case is not filed yet. So when that person goes for visa stamping in DS-156 can he/she truthfully answer as "No" to the following question:-
"Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action? Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled substance (drug), or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?"

Is there a way I can check FBI report to make sure nothing shows against his/her name? If there is a link, please email me.

"Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action?"

Being a suspect is not an arrest, nor is it a conviction.

"Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled substance (drug),"

You can't figure out how you would honestly answer this question? Really?

"or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?"

Or this?

Is there a way I can check FBI report to make sure nothing shows against his/her name?

You can order your own FBI record directly from the FBI.

Thanks for your response.

Person-B got the visa this week. However, Person-B is worried about POE now. Person-B is traveling to US in a week. If case gets filed by the time of arrival or Prosecutor sends notice for pretrial diversion, could officers at POE see the record of the same and could Person-B face any problems at POE. In such a case, are there any documents from court or lawyer that Person-B can carry from immigration perspective, that might help at POE? Just wondering..Do you have any advise or pointers?
