[An] applicant either is or was
(1) a drunkard,
(2) ineligible for a visa or admission to the United States on the basis of health-related, criminal or security grounds, labor certification issues, being a “public charge” (e.g., needing public assistance), illegal entry, insufficient documentation, ineligibility for citizenship, previous removal as an alien,
or other miscellaneous grounds,
(3) a professional or convicted gambler,
(4) a provider of false testimony in order to obtain immigration benefits,
(5) serving a sentence of incarceration for an aggregate period of 180 days or more,
