Hi all, I posted this in general discussion but I guess this is a better forum for this.

I am 31 yrs old white male USC, I started talking to my (now) wife in nov 2010 and went to India last week (1st trip) for 6 days and we got married. She is divorced with a 5 year old daughter with sole custody and full rights. I also have 2 DWIs with mandatory jail time. 1st one 7 years ago and 2nd one 4 years ago. We are getting ready to file for CR1. I was warned to make a couple of trips before getting married but we did it anyway. Is it going to cause us any problem in the future? Also are my DWIs going to affect my eligibility to file for her and her daughter?

It was her parents idea for us to get married so soon because they did not want me seeing her without being married to her (not that we did not want to, we did and are happy). Can someone who has dealt with Consulates in India help me on this one please?

DWI's won't be any problem. Every consulate is different and someone with experience in India can speak to the visits question, but as you said, the parents requested this and it is a cultural thing and generally the consulates are aware of the local customs for this so that should weigh in your favor.
