  1. I guess this is it! Everyone has their day! Congratulations πŸΎπŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽŠ πŸ₯³πŸ’―
  2. Aside it being your first time which like I mentioned before makes it a lot less than frequent occurrence, you should be able to write about it in your personal affidavit, reiterating that it’s a one time thing and all of that good stuff…also get family, friends, neighbors and colleagues to write of your good moral character. We all make mistakes and even the adjudicating officer should know that. On your part, try not to be in any such situation again. It is true that you need to maintain GMC to meet one of the several requirements for i360, but you have to take your chances. Being honest is a demonstration of GMC…believe the best, stay positive.😊
  3. Glad you are an attorney as you should be familiar with these processes to an extent. Being completely honest as you have demonstrated helps..also if it’s your first time according to what I read somewhere, it’s usually not as bad as a frequent occurrence. Here’s what I found and hope it helps.πŸ™‚ Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol is a serious crime. If you have a DUI on your record, you may be wondering how it will affect your green card application and whether you will be approved for your green card. Drunk driving, by itself, is usually not grounds to deny an applicant a green card. However, in certain circumstances, drunk driving can result in inadmissibility on health-related or criminal-related grounds. Will A DUI Disqualify You on Health-related Grounds? When considering whether your DUI will disqualify you on health-related grounds, it is important to note that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (β€œUSCIS”)treats alcoholism and alcohol use disorders (abuse or dependence) as a physical or mental disorder. Applicants with a physical or mental disorder will only be inadmissible if they exhibit harmful behavior associated with their disorder that has posed or is likely to pose a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others. During your green card application process, you will be medically evaluated for disorders, including alcoholism, and any associated harmful behavior. Driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol does qualify as an associated harmful behavior. Therefore, if you are evaluated and found to be an alcoholic or have an alcohol use disorder, the DUI in conjunction with the disorder may amount to a health-related ground for inadmissibility. Medical Evaluations During Green Card Application Process If you fail to report alcohol-related driving incidents during your medical evaluation, the incident will likely be revealed in your criminal record anyway. In such a case, an immigration officer may require a re-examination if you have a significant criminal record of alcohol-related driving incidents, including: One or more arrests or convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents while your driver’s license was suspended, revoked, or restricted at the time of the arrest due to a previous alcohol-related driving incident. One or more arrests or convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents where personal injury or death resulted from the incident. One or more convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents where the conviction was a felony in the jurisdiction in which it occurred or where a sentence of incarceration was actually imposed. One arrest or conviction for alcohol-related driving incidents within the preceding five years. Two or more arrests/convictions for alcohol-related driving incidents within the preceding ten years. After the re-examination, the immigration officer may find you inadmissible on health-related grounds. Criminal-Related Grounds For Inadmissibility The second way a DUI may affect your green card application is based on criminal-related grounds for inadmissibility. If the DUI is categorized as a crime involving moral turpitude, you will be deemed inadmissible. A crime involving moral turpitude (β€œCIMT”) generally involves conduct that violates accepted moral standards. Driving under the influence, by itself is not a CIMT, nor will multiple convictions of driving under the influence amount to a CIMT. However, the Board of Immigration Appeals (β€œBIA”) has found DUIs to be crimes involving moral turpitude when the DUI was coupled with knowingly driving on a suspended or revoked license. The BIA has ruled that a person who drives while under the influence and knowing that he or she is prohibited from driving, commits a crime that is contrary to accepted moral standards. Thus, the element that transforms a DUI into a CIMT is the offender’s knowledge that he does not have the privilege to drive. It is the deliberate and knowing disregard for the law that brings the offender’s conduct outside the confines of accepted moral standards and subjects the applicant to criminal-related grounds of inadmissibility.
  4. Lmao 🀣 USCIS should be a wonder of the world!🌎 they work in mysterious ways!
  5. I try not to visit the site often but last time I checked it was 8months. I also see it has nothing to do with how fast they process the cases. Really don’t make much of it.😊
  6. Hey wanna ask this….what’s the case estimate time on your USCIS status? Also @AHC_2015 what does yours say even though you already got notified of scheduled interview?
  7. May or may not have anything to do with it..the more straightforward your case is the more easily processed it will be…logically…you’ve been around for a while..met all the requirements and some….so that makes me believe it may have influenced the process.πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
  8. Well, just remain expectant..but don’t stress yourself out too much. This too shall pass!πŸ₯³
  9. Then there has to be another algorithm USCIS uses based on individual cases I guess. Some folks get processed faster than others…it’s always been that way.πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
  10. Will also like to know if USCIS works Saturdays… I know I’ve heard of people getting updates on Saturdaysβ€¦πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
  11. I read in multiple places that if you applied the 90 day rule, USCIS will ensure you meet the complete 3years or 5years requirement before setting up interview… now I do not know how true this information is and would appreciate if someone with answers can shed light on it. ☺️
  12. Weird but I feel you’re going to get it soon. Your FO is quite fast. Prayers up for us all!πŸ™ŒπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  13. This is great news! Even better was someone who filed in January and already got an interview notice! While we should exercise patience, we should also be ready because apparently anything is possible!πŸ₯³πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ™Œ
  14. You should get a β€œWe mailed Your Card” notification, then I can estimate 4-5 days after that… as it happened in my case!πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘
  15. Congratulations πŸΎπŸŽˆπŸŽŠπŸŽ‰ so happy for you! Live life to the fullest! Every day gone is lost forever! Everyone, please NEVER put your life on hold for anyone or anything! πŸ₯‚ πŸ₯³
  16. That’s why I ran here to celebrate with you! πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸ˜„ God is awesome! You can relax now!🎈
  17. Don’t worry you’ll get through it all. It will end in PRAISE!!! πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸ˜Š
  18. Congratulations πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽŠπŸΎ πŸ˜„ so thrilled for you! God over everything!
  19. Amen πŸ™ dear thanks 😊 I’m from Houston FO they really go fast..so I’m thinking all the holidays in between Christmas and New Year kinda set things back a little bit. Looking forward to that day.πŸ₯³
  20. Hi everyone, been following up from a distance but ready to interact. Filed in December as well still waiting to hear something. Looks like the November folks were faster in that they got scheduled a month or there about after NOA. I hope that we get some good news before January is over. Can’t wait to be done with this grand finale!πŸ˜‡πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰
  21. πŸ˜€Upvotes are cool but the real Joy is sharing in the exhilarating approval experience..and knowing it’s one less pain out there. This process is grueling! Been there!πŸ˜‡πŸ™
  22. Lmao 🀣 yeah that makes it more personal. You’re such a fun person, you should be in this boulevard more giving sunshine through this cold wait. πŸ˜‡
