Timeline

I am an US citizen and I have previously had drug offense (Possession of marijuana) and also one DUI and underage drinking charge. I am now filling up the form for the petition and there is a question asking "Three or more convictions for crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol not arising from the same act", should I click "yes" or "no"?

Also, would this affect my ability to file the petition for my fiance? I also have one Class B felony of burglary and I was put under probation since 2009 for 10 years. I currently am unemployed and whether my family member would be able to joint-sponsoring me for filing the petition?

Thanks a lot for helping me out! I am just being worried for my past history would affect my petition for my fiance!

Your fiancé knows about the convictions correct? She will most certainly be asked about them

good luck

If you have three convictions for a drug or alcohol related crime then you tick yes. You may or may not need a waiver, it depends on the severity of your crimes and how USCIS views them.

Yes, since you're unemployed, you will definitely need a joint sponsor, such as your family.

Since you haven't filled in your timeline/info, I don't know where your fiance is from? If she's from a VWP country, it might be easier for you to get married in a small ceremony, then she goes back home and you petition for a spousal visa instead. The spousal visa takes about ten months now and you do not need to disclose those previous convictions or attach court records.

Yes you can file.

You will need a waiver request due to the 3 times conviction on drugs/alcohol.

You will need court record for your felony.

How would I be able to get a waiver? Is it a must for getting a waiver for my chargers? Also how to get a court record for my felony ?

Would all these affect my petition application and lead to denial of my case or takes a longer time ??

Thank you !!

Look on the instruction for I-129f it is something they (USCIS) Wants. I had to do one for multiply filers, It easy to do yourself.
