Dear USCIS Officer,

Please find attached:

I hope this additional evidence clarifies the nature of the arrest and demonstrates that I continue to meet the good moral character requirement for VAWA petitioners despite this incident. Please reach out to me at (555) 444-2222 or mariahernandez@email.com if you have any further questions.
