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.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

That falls into the very very unlikely category.

 

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

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Drug dealing? No

 

I assume she has nobody eligible to file a waiver

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

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

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

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
