medic5678 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi everyone. My fiance recently had her interview, and they focused on an almost 9 year old DUI while operating a motorcycle. They want a 2nd police clearance and they are making her go for alcohol evaluation. This girl rarely drinks, and only a little if any. This was something that she did when she was 24, thought to be buried by the sands of time... but apparently not. So we are not yet cleared for visas. This surprises me that it would come up at the interview in such a way, because we disclosed it on the initial petition. I don't know if this means it will be ok when she passes the medical exam and the police clearance certificate is corrected, or what the policy is.. you literally operate in a cloud of darkness. Any input appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifino Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 surely she's done the time for the crime!! was it a Fine, a Licence suspension/cancellation, or jail time?? why can't they simply prevent her from driving, in the new promised land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic5678 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 She paid a fine the next morning, and has driven since without incident. Though I do see why they'd want medical clearance for alcohol abuse. Perhaps it's nothing more than that, passing screening criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 In America, a DUI (or DWI for other countries) is now right up there with drug trafficking, slavery, crimes of moral turpitude and the Holocaust. Has been that way for a long while but I would say that over the last 6-8 years, and definitely under the guidance of the Department of Homeland Paranoia, it has become more and more damning blemish on the otherwise impeccable bona fides of even the hopeful tourist visitor.

medic5678 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Apparently they just screen you for alcoholism and you will need medical clearance. One DUI 8 years ago will not disqualify you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
