With 3 DUI convictions does this qualify for IMBRA paperwork? Is this means for denial? What should I do? I am a U.S. citizen.

If the convictions qualify under the IMBRA law then a waiver must be requested

YMMV

My impression from the way the law reads is that you will need a waver. The odds of it being accepted and approved are pretty good.

12/14/2006 Applied for K-1 with request for Waver for Multiple filings within 2 years.
Waiting - Waiting - Waiting
3/6 Called NVC file sent to Washington for "Administrative Review" Told to call back every few weeks. 7/6 Called NVC, A/R is finished, case on way to Moscow. YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7/13 On Friday the 13th we see updated Moscow website with our interview on 9/11 (Hope we are not supersticious) 9/11 Visa Approved. Yahoo.
10/12 Tickets for her to America. I am flying to JFK to meet her there. 12/15/07 We are married. One year and a day after filling original K-1
12/27 Filed for AOS, EAD & AP 1/3 Received all three NOA-1's 1/22 Biometrics 2/27 EAD & AP received 4/12 Interview
5/19/08 RFE for physical that she should not have needed. 5/28 New physical ($ 250.00 wasted) 6/23 Green Card received

Yeah, that's a while ago huh? I had one in the 70's. What is the threshold for needing a waiver? I didn't see it in the USCIS info when I read through it. Maybe I missed it...

As I recall reading, it seemed like serious violent or child crimes needed a waiver from the outset???

I am wondering the same thing. I believe that if you just go with the I-130 that you can get around the IMBRA law. I am not sure but the I-130 asks nothing about IMBRA questions. Let me know if you find something. Thanx.
