bazinga Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 My H1B got approved this year and I recieved my I-797 form. I got arrested in Texas for suspicion of public intoxication last month and I'm positive that the case would be dismissed soon as I was not guilty. I plan to travel to India this December after 3 long years to get a visa stamp. I realize that I would have to check yes on DS-160 when asked about arrest and I plan to be upfront about it. What consequences am I looking at? What are the odds of getting a 221g? I read they might ask me to do medical screening to check for alcohol dependence or abuse. Is it possible to take this test before the interview? Approximately, how much of a delay am I looking at for getting back to the US? I believe I will not be able to get a leave of more than 8 weeks maximum and can't afford to get stuck in India. Or should I just delay my travel plans? I don't have any other arrest or criminal records. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
raj100 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Don't take risk. Delay your visit. High chances of getting 221g if you check that on ds160. Quote Link to comment
sam3215 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 You never know.. Its not in your hands. Carry certified court disposition docs and immigration lawyer letter saying you are not barred from getting visa of entry for what u are charged with Quote Link to comment
