[jrparker 0]

I have two Dwi convictions in Texas, one in Oct 2009 and one in Nov 2009, the first was in my car, the second was in a boat, both were class b misdemeanor and no jail time, i recivied 1 yr probation for the 1st and only a $700 fine on the second, my probation is over now and i am staying out of trouble,I have never been in trouble before in my life, it was just a rough couple of months then, I filed for a K1 for my fiance (Philippines) on Feb 10th 2010 after traviling there 3 times to see her, we have all the proof we need for the relationship, i am just worried about the Dwi's. does anyone know if this will affect our visa, she already knows about them and understands i have changed my ways, i totaly quit drinking, I just want to get her here and i dont want this to be a factor. any comments would be helpful. thanks

I don't think a couple of non-violent misdemeanors will be a problem for USC. As long as it did not involve any fraud, sex crime, or any crime of violence. Just dont show up to the interview drunk..

You will simply answer no to the criminal questions on the I-129F (Even in new math, 2 is not 3 or more.) and get on with life. Unless you have been convicted of a sexual offense against a child, the US Citizen's criminal record will not impact petition approval.
