Hello,
Question to all experts. I have been on h1b visa for about 9 years now. I a applied for my Green card through emplyment based. My labor certification, EAD and AP are all approved. However, I had a DWI in 2000 in Texas. Max sentence for that is 6 months in jail. This was probated to 18 monts probation for me. I am from pakistan and so had to do special registration in 2003. They found out about the DWI and did not do anything. so readin here, i am seeing people are filing waivers. I thaught a single DWI is not a CIMT and does not deny Adjustment of status.
Anyhows please help if I would need a waiver for this crime. DWI was 7 years ago. I dont see an interview anytime soon. All the attorneys I have spoken to say that this should not affect the process in any ways. Even supreme court has ruled that DWI is not considered a cimt or crime of violnce. In any case, inputs are appreciated.
