Foreign income doesn't require document submission to the IRS.

Keep it for your records in case you're asked in the future.

Also don't forget the FEIE to exclude her income.

To the OP's original question:

I had a DUI from 1986 - which is listed as a misdemeanor in my state of Florida police report.

The LA consulate couldn't comprehend the timeline involved and that it's been long ago resolved - proven by my current unrestricted FL drivers license.

Later I applied with the Chicago consulate using a clear county level police report (the DUI occurred in another county). It was approved without question.

I don't think they know or care what level report they look at.

This year I visited Florida and returned visa exempt to apply for the non-O.

Much easier in my opinion.

You have many free efile options available.
