H1B stamping with DUI, but eligible for interview waiver

[bits.arun@gmail.com]

Hi folks,

 

Really looking for the pros on here for some help. Here's my situation:

 

• I have a DUI from Dec 2014.
• I was trying to schedule an appointment for my stamping in August but my situation led me to being eligible for the interview waiver 'dropbox' program
• I am certain I will have to go through the medical evaluation

Question: Is there a way to actually decline the waiver and go in person? Is it better to go in person since I have a DUI? If I submit docs to dropbox, would having a DUI cause more than usual delay (>4 weeks)?

 

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Better to attend interview directly instead of interview waiver program. You can decline and go for interview.

Thank you so much @sekar11#. I am just not able to find an option to decline. Do I have to call in?
