l have proof of completing a domestic violence program and letters from my pastor, employer and mother stating I am rrehabilitated and am a person of good moral character.  How likely is it that my petition is denied by USCIS or during the interview? What else can I include to improve my chances of approval?  I have bi-polar and all my convictions where when I was off my medication. When I am on my medication I am fine.  Should I mention that at the interview?  I plan on being there with my wife.  My wife is in the Philippines and knows all about my convictions.  Thank you for your advice in advance.

Not gonna lie. That is a pretty extensive record. It does not look good at all. You have hit the trifecta in the top CMTs (crimes of moral turpitude)...  Domestics Violence, Drug use, and indecent exposure (sexual misconduct?).

 

The CO could very well see you as a threat to the safety of the beneficiary. I am not going to say that it will get denied but I will say that the chance of it being denied is much higher than others. Since being on VJ I have seen another case where a petition was denied due to the petitioner's criminal past, but it was a K1 visa. Best course of action is to be prepared for a denial which will likely lead to you seeking a reconsideration. Best to have an attorney on standby also.
