Shoplifting may belong to CIMT (Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude). The state's criminal law and immigration law has different definitions on it. You should print out the immigration waiver conditions and your conviction with corresponding law which includes the maximum possible penalty. Then bring them to interview.

I believe in your case it should be fine. However, it's better to check the max possible imprison time for your conviction is less than one year or not. If you do the homework, you should know it.

Police report should be got from police station. They usually just send you a photocopy. Better to ask them to put some stamp or certify it. But this is not that important.

When you get interviewed, there are chances that you will do it separately, but not guaranteed I don't know how to control it. My personal opinion is you should tell your hu*****and honestly. To hide something is worse than the bad thing itself. It costs you too much. Eventually you may still have to face the reality. For example, since you already have the criminal history, later when you travel to countries like Canada or Europe, you may still have to fill in the history on the visa application forms. Different country has different regulations on it. If the country does not allow you in, you may still have to explain it to your hu*****and.

Of course, how to tell your hu*****and and how to deal with the possible consequences is something you need to think through.
