Successfull H4 visa processing
Just a quick update to help ppl in a similar situation..
My wife after our recent marriage went for a H4 visa. She didn't face any issues w.r.t H1(myself) having a DUI. As the lawyers mentioned, IBIS (security check) is done on the applicant attending the interview (H4) and not on H1 holder.
So folks getting married and are in a similar situation, have fun. No worries for now.
I will have to try & wait for 2 more years (1 year had already elapsed since I was convicted for a DUI) before going for my H1 stamping to avoid physician checks and related processing delays.
All the best.
