Hello,

My brother in law has been convicted twice :
In 2011 for robbery and he received a suspended jail sentence of 6 months
In 08/2012 for violence in public space he had a 18 month jail sentence + 9 months of suspended jail sentence + probation.
For both sentences he was more than 18.
He would like to visit his sister for vacation. He is french but obviously ineligible for a visa waiver. Do you think he has even a small chance of getting a B-2 visa? If not do you think that waiting a couple more years could help his case?

Thank you for your help.

The chances are very slim to be honest and it all depends on the CO. He can give it a shot and see what happens but there is no guarantee the visa will be approved.

Best of luck in the case he applies
