You should be fine , make sure to take your final disposition document. Also it will take at least a month or 2 to get approval so be ready for that. If you need more details you can DM me

If you go through the new asylum regulation published in federal register it covers this point. "Additionally, the rule defines new bars and denials for employment authorization, such as for certain criminal behavior; extends the wait time before an asylum applicant can apply for employment authorization from 150 days to 365 calendar days; limits the employment authorization validity period to a maximum of two years; and automatically terminates employment authorization when an applicant’s asylum denial is administratively final." Let hope this is what it means and they dont end up targeting us but with this admin you never know, but i still highly doubt they will deny h1/l1 just based on non cimt crime, it is technically illegal to do that

As per INA a alien who has been legally admitted to the country(on criminal ground) can only be removed for a CIMT and certain other crimes. They have added this to make new regulations to deny work authorizations for asylum seekers etc. Anyways we have wait and watch but if they start denying extensions on h1/l1 etc just based on DUI it will be against the INA, also INA is an act and cannot be amended by regulation. Moreover there is a supreme court ruling regarding DUI not being a CIMT, you really dont need to worry about this in my option

The EO says "certain aliens" it is for illegal aliens convicted of a crime.

Did you get rfe for dui with any of your extensions? And if you did was the rfe issued for extension post medical test ?

You waited 2-3 hours? I have a dui charge an traveled a couple of times each time had to wait for 20-25 mins at max. Did someone attend you earlier or they made you wait for 2 hours?
