Bring mother to USA (mom has criminal background)

[BarbieLove 3]

My mom's I30 is approved. We are just waiting for her interview date in Manila embassy.

 

She has criminal background. She was convicted 7 years ago. she was in jail for 2 years and was released. but she was convicted. 

 

I know this is a ground for inadmission. I wonder if there are any here who had the same situation and was able to bring their loved ones in USA.

Vert much depends on what she was convicted for.

[BarbieLove 3]

she was convicted of drugs (Meth)

[Boiler 45,281]

That falls into the very very unlikely category.

 

Especially if she was dealing or they would have a reason to believe she was.

[BarbieLove 3]

there is no waiver for that, if they deny her visa?

[Boiler 45,281]

Drug dealing? No

 

I assume she has nobody eligible to file a waiver

You need to consult an attorney.  This is far beyond DIY

That is highly likely.  Very sorry.

[BarbieLove 3]

this is what she was convicted of

She was jailed for 1yr and 4 months

Manufacturing and dealing drugs is about as bad as it gets.

[Mohammed12345 9]

She wil not get a visa 

[NeonParticles 126]

There's very likely little chance of this going through, I'm sorry.
