Hi, I lived in US for ten years, on F-1 visa, i got married... after i was done with school i was told later that i should go back home and wait for my GC there , i did ... Well, now i have my interviwe date in december and my criminal record is pretty extended, but only guilty of my dui's... yes, two of them, three years apart. first one was property damage/harm-to-self , second over .20 bac, from what i understand that i'm only imadmissible if the aggregate sentence for those two was over five years, i completed everything for both of those... i was also charged on a different ocasion with a felony-burgulary, which was such a mistake on cops part, it was dismissed by the prosecutor, then i was arrested twice on the beach for ordinance violation, and domestic violence that the cops knocked on the wrong door , ofcourse there was no info filed there,... basically i have not had any luck with the florida cops. I want to know even though i was dismissed from all this, will the arrest affect my interview?

you were there on a student visa, with basically no rights, and you
did all that? And now you want to go back? I think you will be facing
tough time with them. They will check your name BEFORE sending their
approval/denial to the embassy. They check it with FBI in States,
then send your papers to the embassy. No one will see your papers and
affidavit, since they were not submitted with the original petition.
But why did you do all of that? Burglary??
"Multiple criminal convictions.-Any alien convicted of 2 or more offenses (other than purely political offenses), regardless of whether the conviction was in a single trial or whether the offenses arose from a single scheme of misconduct and regardless of whether the offenses involved moral turpitude, for which the aggregate sentences to confinement were 5 years or more is inadmissible."

Are you saying in this situation there in no hope ? even with a Immigration lawyer ?
I'm in a bad situation right now and could use some advice

If you have this situation then you really need to find a GOOD immigration lawyer who also does criminal cases and have the lawyer review your case. There is always a possibility that your former attorney at your criminal cases was incompetent, which may allow you to have one of the convictions thrown out. But you will need a real immigration lawyer with criminal experience to do something like that.

Did you happen to notice the date of the first post, it is over 1 year old. Anyways, CIS only cares about criminal convictions and arrests that you forgot to tell them about. In this guys case, he wouldn't have a problem. But as a former INS officer, what do I know,,,
