Why is a DUI associated with Violence to Women?

[BradLuvsMaria 0]

My Fiance and I are getting close to submitting our I-129F Yes the latest rendition! I am 41 and at a younger age I made bad decisions when it came to drinking and driving home. Even though this was years ago, of course I told my Fiance about my past mistakes. That's what people in love do. I knew of IMBRA and the criminal background checks would be required, but I was SHOCKED to see that the Gov. put an extra Billet mark and also asked if you had any convictions for drugs/alcohol 3 times. Here is the original clip from VTWA:

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, of which IMBRA is a part, are designed to continue Congress’s efforts to prevent domestic violence and spousal abuse. Immigrants who have been victims of domestic violence have long benefited from VAWA immigration provisions, which allow abused spouses and children to self-petition for lawful immigration status. Under IMBRA, Congress has further extended those protections by regulating more closely the international marriage broker market and by requiring disclosure of violent criminal history, such as domestic abuse, rape, or murder, of which a fiancé(e) may be unaware.

Sorry but I missed the part of how a night of drinking and bad judgment now turns into the preposition that I am violent, have abused Women, or worse I have killed? Even if you have never made this bad judgment, why wouldn't it be OK for the Gov to include a person convicted of Bank Robery? Burglary? Shoplifting? Deffinetly in each of these mentioned cases, there is a high probability of violence NOT to mention these can all be classified as FELONIES!!!

As I said, My girl knows everything as that is the proper way to start a life together. Yes I have already researched these past charges and have managed to get Certified Copies of the Court Sentence and also Police reports. NOTE: Police Departments DO NOT CERTIFY POLICE REPORTS!!! Even though that is what IMBRA is clearly asking for on the I-129F.

I feel the pain of the people with NO record at all having to be apart from the one that keeps their smile going everyday. I will do anything I have to and have started. I don't want to "Raise my name as a problem Person with USCIS". It is all KISS ### till my girl is where she wants to be. After that, look out congress people!!!! I promise to join the crusade against this cruel but well intended law!!! It just needed more thought!!!
