Char, thank you for your reply on my previous post. However, the one question I still have is this: for question #28 on the DS-156 it asks if you've ever been issued a visa. Well, when I was denied entry to the U.S. in 2003, (when they found out about my arrest history,) I had to apply for (and was approved), an I-192. they issue you a card to show at the border with that. Does anyone know if THAT is a "visa"? thank you
