Avefgtr Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I'm currently on a H1 visa - -First approved - Dec 2010 -First stamp - March 2011 -DUI - 7/28/2011, misdemeanor -Haven't been out of the country since -GC Application I-140 approved, Nov 2015 date -Just got the H1b extension for 3 years based on I-140 -No other violations since 2011 except a few speeding tickets. I'm thinking about going to get my stamp, and have the disposition documents from 2011. 1. Do I need to be worried about the Visa Revocation that State Department is doing? 2. Are there any other options to get my stamp? Thanks! Link to comment
shekar11# Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Better to go to home country for stamping. They will give a 221G and ask to attend the medical test. Once that is done they will issue visa provided you have all the docs from employer and your DUI. Link to comment
Avefgtr Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 @shekar11# My concern was about the recent revocation policies, any input on that? Also, are you certain that they will give me a 221G, even though the DUI was 5 years ago? Link to comment
pagladeewana Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I would highly recommend you to go to your home country. Since the arrest is older than 5 years they might waive off medical test. You should have no problems in getting visa stamped(provided everything else is in order) . Do carry all the court papers esp court disposition letter Link to comment
Avefgtr Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 one last question for you all - Is there a time period after a DWI when I wouldn't get a 221g for Medical Eval? For example, Since its been 5.5 years, is there a chance the consulate will grant me a Visa without going through a Medical Eval? Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks! Link to comment
