Hi,

I'm just wondering if the processing time for the I-130 would be drastically effected if the petitioner / USC has a criminal charge?

I have an underage alcohol related charge (DWAI) from 6+ years ago - my spouse is very aware - was never worried about it affecting our chance of approval as it's a nonviolent charge & all court requirements were completed so I don't imagine it will cause us any issues..

BUT, it just occurred to me that our petition might have some extra steps/review to go through because of this - basically I'm worried the processing time might be slower than the norm because of this.

If anyone has a similar situation could you link me your timeline or a relevant thread?

 

Cheers

Should have no impact whatsoever in a spouse visa case.  Not to the timeline, and not to anything else.
