Hello,

Just looking for some input based on peoples experiences. Maybe most who have been through this are no longer on the forum.

My greencard interview here in California is in a couple weeks. I'm hoping all goes well and have been told I am not inadmissable.

I do have two arrests on my record, though, which I have disclosed. I was arrested for DUI in 1997 but acquitted and convicted only of driving after consumption while under 21. The other was for a DUI in 2008, for which I was convicted.

I've learned that 1 dui is typically not a big deal, and the combination of both crimes is still not severe enough to warrant inadmissability. I've read that they sometimes send individuals with more that 1 DUI arrest to panel physicians to ensure the applicant is not a habitual drunkard. Has anyone been through this exact same circumstance and if so, what was the outcome?

Hoping all goes well in a couple weeks. Also hoping I'll be approved and will not have to go through further examinations or waiting.

Thanks for any advice.
