Hi all, new to the forum here. I have just received my request for form 5669/Schedule A.
In 1988, I was 13 years old and pleaded guilty to forced entry and petty theft charges. I served 1 year probation and paid $150 or so in restitution. Originally I was sentenced to 2 years probation but was released due to no further infractions. I have had no further arrests or infractions since then, and my juvenile record was sealed. Section 4, question B asks if you have ever been convicted of crime, etc. Does this need to be declared? Is it considered a conviction as a juvenile? I don't want misrepresentation to be an issue. While researching, it seems that this won't be a cause for inadmissability and I should probably declare it.
Thanks for any insight.
