ppatel22,

 

I really appreciate posting what is going on with your case. Our prayers are with you man!! Be confident.

Hi all, I got my visa stamped in Mumbai...had dropbox..online status showed admin processing...however was called for interview after 3-5 business days....in the interview, VO asked a lot about what happened...why arrested...took my docs from court and lawyers memo which mentioned that PC 415 - disturbing the peace is not CIMT..... VO also took my 16 week class certificate as proof and warned me that this shud not happen again....got visa approved online after 5-7 business online saying "Issued". The POE took nearly 1.5 hours to let me in USA.....my wife was along with me, however, the CBP officers were checking if there was a restraining order in our case...there was no restraining order in our case and we stayed all together under peaceful contact... Hope this helps!
