Right the medical is part of packet 4 in an IR-1/CR-1 case. There is no packet 3 in an IR-1/CR-1 case, only K visa cases. That letter seems somewhat sketchy IMO mainly because of the dates on it, and it has no seal etc.. I know that alot of people have just shown them a copy of NOA2 from the I-130 or the letter from NVC asking for the documents. In my wife's case she just paid a lawyer 5000 THB in Chiang Mai to deal with it because she didn't want to make the trip to Bangkok.

Karee is once again correct in what he says. I have known people that have shown the police NOA 1 or 2 and have seen quite a few here on V J.

In the course of helping people I have called the police at the number Karee indicated with good results.

i work wife doesn't, she is a stay at home mom taking care of the house and kids, wife wants money from my tax refund i think not who's right?

Your wife may not receive a pay check but she certainly works. She becomes entitled to half of the assets by law depending on how long she was married in many states. I suppose how much she is worth to you is about to be determined by a cash settlement which I find incredible.

I agree with Aaron.

Thanks...guess the confusion comes from everyones timelines. When ppl put their filing location, and than it says transferred and most say no. Just didn't get that, because it was transferred. Is there a timeframe on average for them switching you to another location or does that happen with the first NOA. Also if your going to get a RFE, does that happen within a certain time usually, or can it be 4/5 months after your NOA.

These cases are sent to Texas where they are then assigned to a service center in an attempt to balance the work load. When the case is assigned an adjudicator or case officer it will be reviewed. During that review if it become apparent there is additional info required the officer will send an RFE. This can happen at any point in the review process.

I figured I'd compile a list of warning signs since these questions get asked a lot.

1. Did you bar fine her in Pattaya the first time you met her? The question is the answer on that one.

2. Does she work in Pattaya, but she's from Isaan?

3. Does she work at a girly bar, but only claims to be a hostess?

4. If you did meet her in a bar, does she claim that she she has only been in that line of work for a short period of time? Or that she is only in that line of work so she can send money back home?

5. Is she asking for money for things like family emergencies, English school, or flat out saying I wont work in the bar if you send her enough money? (she'll keep the money and continue working in the bar)

6. When you call her, does her phone go straight to a recording between 8 pm and 4 am Thai time. This is a HUGE one. It could mean she has multiple SIM cards and doesn't want to take calls from you while she's with her Thai boyfriend or she's with a customer. Also, some of the mama sans have rules about them using their phones while working. In Thailand if a phone is powered down, it will not ring at all like it will in the U.S.

7. Does she disappear for days at a time, where you can't get a hold of her, and then comes up with some story about her phone being broken, and then asks you for money for another phone.

8. Wants you to build a house for her parents back on the farm as part of the agreement to marry you

9. Wants you to buy her a car. (Why would you buy her a car if she's planning on moving to the U.S.?)

This is by no means a complete list, but hopefully some will learn from it. I lived in Thailand for 3 years and met my first girlfriend in the bar. I learned most of these things the hard way. It actually took me getting hauled down to the police station with a minor knife wound and threatened with imprisonment if I didn't sign a confession in Thai, before I finally woke up and saw the reality. The good news was that I didn't bring her to the U.S. on a visa.

I know most will be blinded by the hot Asian girl that says they love the farang. I was. There's no shame in that. If you meet one of these girls in the bar, rent, don't buy. It will save you a lot of money and pain in the future.

Keep an eye out for the red flags I've posted above. Especially #6.

Also, do some reading on Stickman.

Actually, I just looked at Stickman, and a lot of the things I posted above are there in this link:

http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/StickmanBangkokWeeklyColumn2011/Thai-Bargirls-Red-Flags.htm

I hadn't seen this Stickman info before but it is very real from what I know. Two girls from my village are doing many of these same things. Their mothers are friends and are so ashamed of them its had to watch what happens in the village when they come back.

One of the worked the Pattaya scene for a few years until she had to come back to get help with the STDs. After she recovered she went straight back because its all she thinks she can do other than have a real job.

Another girl has had many men in at least two locations everyone knows about. She was working a Russian guy for every dime until she had the idea to get pregnant by him so he would feel obligated to pay for the child. Lucky for him he figured it out and left. Very quickly she had another German while living with her Thai B friend who serves as an adviser. They have been working him for over a year now. She works in bars while staying with her Thai then goes to meet the other guy when he arrives in BKK thinking she is waiting on him. She has two kids that these men are not aware of because as is usual they are left with her mother. The Thai men will do these things because they don't have to work and don't care what has to be done by the female.

Karee what happened to you was terrible and I am very happy to know you were not hurt worse in any way. In Phuket for example there have been farangs killed by these people and I am sure in other places too. The confession bit is just so Thai. I am so ashamed of Thais that do these things because of the reputation earned will never be lived down. Its so hard to tell who is telling the truth unless you really know whats going on and what these people will do for money.

The problem is no one wants to believe this will happen to them. My husband never had a relationship with anyone other than me but he did buy a water buffalo that didn't exist. He wasn't fooled by a women. He thought he was helping a guy he met stay out of jail for stealing a buffalo. When he stopped to listen to me he was so mad he took me to the place where the buffalo was supposed to be insisting I was wrong. There was no buffalo and the police just smiled at his story.

I honestly don't know anybody who would do that to a student. This is a shame. You are allowed to so CPT , only limited to jobs relating to your field of study. You could try to get a visa , explain to the visa officer that it was a misunderstanding , or a stupid mistake. Convince him or her you have absolute no intention abusing the visa.

The student didn't follow the rules so of curse they did that. They have a responsibility to perform.

Filing for AOS just outside of 90 days, 91 to be exact. I just got the money to do so. Will everything be okay? We were married within the 90 days though!

Nothing to worry about.

Hi all.

I am getting closer and closer to my final Visa Interview. And I am already anxious and nervous about moving to the USA. I am from Bavaria, Germany. Very traditional, from a small village. Ive got my life here, a job, house, ive got 2 horses and a horse paddock. Ive got a nice garden. And I am giving that all up to be with the woman I love who lives in Phoenix Arizona. Sure I know I love her and she loves me.

Sure I know I want to be with her. Sure I think life in America offers much. But it is the act of relocation, the final weeks before leaving, leaving everything behind, while moving into the big unknown... the southwestern Desert is of course like a different planet for a southern bavarian like me. I leave my family, the environment, the austrian Alps where I go hiking and fishing a lot, etc.

Its hard. I feel Anxiety. I am nervous. I feel this pressure on my shoulders. How do you cope with that, how did you cope with that? What kind of advice can you possibly give?

Thanks all.

I come from a country where we live in a rain forest that people call the jungle. I live in the Valley of the sun myself right now. Right now there is plenty of sun.

We all have to decide what we want and sometimes like me without much info. I or we didnt know we would be living in my husbands former area. The economy drove us here where we have been for 6 years now. I like the Valley in most ways but its a giant area of about 50 sq miles with millions of people living in it now. My husband describes it when he was young as paradise. But now its just a huge very busy city with all the problems of that type of life. I do not like the impersonal feeling I get from people. On the street where we live most of the people dont speak to each other even when we meet at the mail box. Thats odd to me coming from a small village.

The " Alps " in Az are in the north and eastern part of the state. If you want to have horses and do what you used to you will have to find an area in the Valley where people do have those things and take them north to ride in the mountains. However I find the desert beautiful too especially if you know where to go.

There are web sites such as Old Phoenix where you can find a forum to ask people maybe even Germans how they cope. I would suggest you try to come to the USA to experience the lifestyle in the Valley. Its not Bavaria for sure from what my husband says.

I wonder if your lady has considered Bavaria because it sounds great.

Also what is biometrics that they ask for ?

Bio is simply a few photos and fingerprints. Takes only a few minutes.

Iam going to get married to person working in us with h1b visa.After marriage my parents want to visit usa.but my father is having heart stroke and paralysis problem.It is cured and he is in medication.I just want to know whether he will get a visiting visa or not?

No one here will be able to tell you exactly. That question will be answered at the embassy. The best thing you can do is to advise him about the application. He applies on his own. He must understand the strongest ties rule and comply with it to have a chance. This means understanding USCIS views all people with any type of visa as intending immigrants. He must offset that concept with proof that he MUST return to his country.

He will note the reason for his visit. He will then need to show why he must return. You didnt say what is age is but older people have a better chance to be granted a visa due to their life style ect. He must keep in mind the long history of fraudulent use of visas relalted to India which may prevent him from getting the visa. This means he must do a very good job in preparing his case.

The decision about the visa is often made before the person is interviewed so he must portray his info in written form to include with the application if possible.

You are right, the examples people give me may not have anything to do with Yadfon's situation. Even so, I would like to hear from some couples that have went through the medical that had no records after the Mar-14 revisions to the instructions came out. I want to see if the reality of the medical changed any. I do want to make sure we do what is in her (our) best interest for the long haul to citizenship. And getting all the correct vaccines is one of them, then following up. I just don't want her to need to get them all at once. Good advice on the follow ups. Same goes in Thailand, there can be a big difference in cost for the vaccines from one place to another.

I have already gained insight from this conversation and hope more people way-in.

Thanks for the comments

I know you are interested in making sure the case moves along as well as possible. Nothing wrong with the questions of course because as you say you are going info that can only help.

As others have said Thai people dont always or seldom maintain a health record as I see here in America. My husband & I work with about 4,000 children here and each one must have the correct health information to begin and that info is updated often. I just love the systems in America and hope one day Thailand will adapt some of what I see here to help the people.

I think in Thailand it isnt about cost because we do have govt assisted health care but a lot of people there dont know much about the subject. My husband for example was surprised when he saw one family member laying on a bamboo bed outside a house with coals burning under it as a method of healing a sick person. This is where I learned about the Donner party I mentioned. He asked if they had already eaten the mules.

Thank you master for the great words of wisdom and guidance.

Good to see you have a sense of humor because we need this along this journey.

A master I am not. A guide? Possibly with the help of others. Then we must remember the Donner party had a guide too which is why I always bring a fork. I think Karee brings a glass from what he has said especially if the trip is more than one block long.

My wife ended up having 4 shots when she went to the medical. She was under 25 and had to do the HPV, since that is no longer a requirement, she would have ended up with 3. So it will really depend on what anti-bodies your fiancee already has.

One more reason I thought of to delay your medical is having to redo them in the US for AOS, you can use the K1 medical for the AOS, provided it was done less than a year before you file for AOS. So depending on dates etc, you can be pushing it if something happens and you get put in AP.

We had the shot records transferred to the AOS form for free at the local Civil Surgeon. Also we never finished the series of shots on the vaccinations either.

This is what I was hoping would come up here. The O P is only interested in these most recent situations but didnt seem to be aware that what happened to others relative to the shots may not have anything to do with his fiances circumstances. The laundry list of shots he posted are not always needed and in fact most of us only needed a few. I had just three but that was not in the isolated time frame he thinks is important.

Money may not be a factor here but if the timing of the medical isnt understood then as Aaron points out there will be another very expensive medical required.

Additionally his lady will or should be given follow up shots once in the USA and prior to the AOS meeting even though in my case for example they didnt even ask nor were interested in the medical form they had requested.

For the benefit of those that do care about the costs of such things I suggest they check with a local county health clinic to obtain the follow ups. A doctor wanted 300 for mine and over 900 for my daughters. At the clinic I paid 23 for mine while my daughters 9 shots were 100% free.

He wanted to visit me and family, but he doesn't have strong background (not that strong of income, bank balance etc)

I have heard that you can have some business in US, and as a special expertise, you can bring someone here in US to work. I might have heard wrong, but that is why I am making sure here.

Let's say, someone is teaching YOGA in India, and you open up business here in US, and you need to bring that person as teacher, you can put file for that. is that correct? Does it seem so complex to be able to explain to lawyer rather than herE?

Sorry if I am not clear. please feel free to ask any questions you have.

When you open the " yoga " business you will need to prove that you can not find anyone living in the USA to teach the class.

I think what you are going to attempt to do is clear enough. You and he will find that trying to play the system leads to another denial but as always its up to both of you how you want to educate yourselves about the process of legal entry into the USA. You methods are going to be expensive and time consuming but you will learn I am sure.

You can call this new over night business anything you want but the rules are the same for compliance. Of course this very type of thing is exactly why its so difficult to get a tourist visa and why there are so many rules ect for every other type.

Hello everyone,

I came as Student Visa in 2007. Got my Green Card in 2013 March through Marriage.

My cousin tried for US Visitor Visa in 2010 when I was still student, and it got denied.

I was wondering if I, as permanent resident, can do something to help him get the Visitor's visa. If yes, what are the chances of him getting Visitor's visa?

Also, if not visitor's visa, what else can I do to get him here? Like Business visa, any particular job visa?

Thanks in advance for your valuable information

You can help him understand he applies on his own merits for a tourist visa. You can also advise him not to attempt to obtain any visa by trying to get away with a series of lies such as a fake job or business visa when it doesn't apply to him. This is not only a waste of time and money but will lead to a life time ban.

Hi All

If documents have to be validated, is a Notary Public the required option or can they be certified by a solicitor or by an Embassy?

Thanks

What type of documents are you talking about? Here in the USA for example a notary simply verifies signatures and has nothing to do with content.

If his income was UNDER $10,000 he is not obligated to file. So he can just attach an affidavit explaining WHY he did not file. Unless they are demanding those tax returns. Yes you can use W2s. Especially since you have a co-sponsor, you should be fine.

All the best to you!

This may be true but if his income is that low there will be many questions I think about how he will support you. This may then require you to be able to explain these things because he wont be there. I don't mean this will be terrible but still you should prepare to explain or they could put the case in A P until they are able to understand. One way to help them understand would be to have your husband write out a simple plan indicating how he plans to support you including living expenses ect for the first 6 months. In that time you should be able to go to work which should be included in the written plan. If W 2s are all he has then it will have to do but this is Thailand where they are known to be strict .

You haven't said what the income level of the co sponsor is and that this person will supply the tax info required. Best to use tax transcripts.

I have seen this thread..... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/434800-missing-divorce-papers/

and my situation is similar.

I was divorced in California over 40 years ago.

The Superior court in the county where the divorce took place DESTROYS any civil/family related cases after 30 years....except for only 2 types of cases. Divorce is not one of those cases.

I have accessed the Superior court website where the divorce took place and cannot even search for records prior to 1974. They don't exist......as in destroyed.

My question would be:....Is there any need to reveal any (ancient) past divorces, where there are no records whatsoever?

To me, destroyed records are just that...

I suppose I could attach a separate sheet of paper and note the divorce and stating that obtaining proof is impossible due to records having been destroyed. Not at my doing, but with a Superior courts own doing.

Or just don't mention it.

Thanks

Best to acknowledge the truth. Include with that an explanation about the courts actions in that time frame.

Hi there,

I live in Palestine, have been an exchange student in the US for high school when I was 15 years old. After that, I went home and graduated from high school. After I finished, I applied for a university to get a full scholarship including tuition, room & board for a 4 years bachelor. that does not include summer.

In the first summer, I worked on campus with my university for a month, then I found a better paying job next to campus, that I applied for in the field of my study. I started working and went to my adviser after to get the authorization, but he wasn't there at his office for two weeks, one I find him and ask him about the authorization and telling him that I have been working for two weeks while looking for him, he calls homeland security and immigration office and my visa gets terminated and revoked, me being told to leave the US immediately so I do so and go back t my home country to wait for a year and then get my scholarship again to continue, I apply for a new visa and waiting for my interview in two weeks, what will happen ? will they determine my visa? or what will they ask me,

letting you know that me working off campus was a stupid idea but it was me misunderstanding the rules?

please help me, what will they ask me,? and what should I say ?

I think you and anyone can understand what you did wasn't a good idea. However when you were told to leave you did so and that was a very good idea.

All you have to do is go to the interview and tell the truth including that you realize that you made a mistake simply because you didn't understand clearly and thought you could make a little more money. They are going to question you some about this and probably tell you not to do that again. Just tell the truth about everything and you should be ok. You already paid a penalty by having to give up your full scholarship ect and wait for a full year. Hopefully that will be enough to allow them to grant you another visa.

1. Why risk it? You never know what might happen and you'll be getting the medical done again if it expires.

3. What rules have changed?

Because the O P wants info from only a select few I will not add anything except to say there is a lot to be understood about the process. Sometimes when people lean too far forward they fall rather than have any sense of balance which will be gained by experience.

Good luck grasshopper.

I don't think meeting online is a big deal at all but like I said she just got overwhelmed with how he was asking the same question and just blurted out what seemed like the logical answer at the time - I just don't want that to be the half second mistake that ruins her ability to come here in the future. She has a very good job (for being in the country she is in) and rents out a room with a friend of hers, has all of her family there and wouldn't dream of doing anything illegal and neither would I (I don't even feel right taking the free penny out of the trays at 7-11).

I know there isn't a "cap" on how many times one can visit the U.S. in a year but do you think it is a bad idea for her to visit again sometime this year (being from mexico isn't an advantage for her either) or would that be "abusing" the tourist visa? I have been doing a LOT of research online and I'm getting conflicting answers. All we want is to do occasional visits for the time being and if everything continues to work out great move to the next level which would be the K1.

Thank you!

The fact that she has the visa is evidence enough that USCIS believed and still believes she will return. That's all she needs to continue to use her visa.

People are nervous as these questions are asked so the mistake she made didn't change anything and wont now. If they thought she was lying at the time she wouldn't have been granted entry so I suggest just getting past this area of concern. She can do better now that you have more complete info.

I don't think its a bad idea to try to visit again because she has only stayed a few days each time. This should serve to indicate to the officer what her intentions are. If asked she could say she is aware that if her relationship were to evolve to the right point she knows the legal procedure would be to seek a K 1 and that for now she has no intention of staying in the USA too long.

Ning, thank you for your reply.

Since she answered him that how we met was through a mutual friend (this is the only thing that concerns me) should we stick with that as they may have kept this on file? (she wasn't brought to the side for questioning or anything and didn't appear to be typing on his computer). Or the next time she visits if asked, we met online? It was a response that was not intended to turn into a trail of lies as she was just getting asked in numerous ways about a boyfriend and it's just what came out. I certainly do not want to raise any flags that will burn us later down the road. That's why I am here - We want to do this and do it right with minimal issues so that we can be together.

Thank you.

I agree that how you two met isn't a big deal. The response she gave was less than the truth but was adequate. Its also true that what is important in obtaining the visa is being able to prove the need to return to the country of origin.

She has to keep in mind that the general questions are asked to expose a lie because these officers are trained and experienced to be able to read people. That's why she was asked in different ways.

Her intention was to gain entry. Her answers were designed to be evasive because she was ignorant of the procedure and feared being turned away. There is a trail of lies even if she didn't realize she could be held accountable later. You are here now because you have come to understand what may happen if she is caught in this series of lies. It will only take one to bring the party to an end signaled by that red flag you spoke of.

All she has to do is tell the truth when she is questioned. This will result in her being able to relax and better understand how to use the visa until you two decide if you want to get a K 1. The fact that she has a track record of entry and exit is certainly a good thing. Two short visits indicate good intentions. If she had stayed a long time for example they would be asking a different set of questions and possibly revoke the visa but she didn't do that as many people do. From what you have said I assume she has a long term visa which will give you time to make decisions.

I've always been pretty proud of the fact that I escaped the sin sod thing. However, on this last trip I took in April, I had to shell out 150k THB to get the family land out of hock thanks to my now deceased sister in law. Looks like they got me eventually so no one is immune.

True Karee. My husband didn't exactly try to escape because he had paid 150 K THB to remodel our Thai mothers house but that was totally his decision. Later when the actual sin sod moment came he felt he had invested earlier ! We continue to provide support for mom.

songsang has adapted quite well it seems, we have already been to several events and locations in Chicago, 100`s of pictures taken and sent back to Thailand. Have tested several thai restaurants, she has her favorite now. She loves the thai grocery store about 1/2 mile from our home. She is reluctant to go out alone here still, I hope this will gradually change but the Chicago "rep" is hard to overcome.We have had our "moments" but after a short cooling off period,(sometimes 24 hrs)all is good again. !!!She has her crocheting,we will need a separate suitcase when we return to Thailand,her thai tv,and calls and emails to friends and family.

Dinner is a nightly event, we both love to cook, weight gain for us both might begin to be a problem...haha. The thai embassy in Chicago held a 3 day festival downtown, I took off on a Wednesday and we went from 11am-6pm...music,dancing, food...had my fill of Singha...shopping stalls....one thing I noticed, although it did not seem to bother Songsang,and we returned on Friday when I got off work, she wanted to go again was that while all the people at the various booths were very nice, not ONE thai person in the 100`s that attended ever acknowledged her or spoke to her and I also caught what I believed to be some not so pleasant stares. It did not seem like the dark skinned thai woman from Chaiyaphum and her farang husband we very welcome at this "elite" festival. Anyway, we had a great time. I pulled the trigger on our return trip, aug20, $1000.00 each round trip, I paid $2000.00 last august just for myself, we have a early morning departure back to Chicago sep.19 so we booked a 5star hotel in bkk for our last 2 nights for only $60.00 per night(Landmark Bangkok)

l so it seems the recent events in Thailand have affected prices. Took a chance with the AOS,I-765 and I-131 pending but our departure date is 94 days after filing so I hope we are good. Do I,the USC need to bring anything as we are going to be "legally" married in Chaiyaphum this trip? We are going to have the "big" wedding in Jan2015 when its nice and cool for me...haha.

s,

Sounds like things are pretty good in Chicago !

My husband has lost weight over time. He says its my cooking! Could be but I have gained weight and I do my share of the cooking. I understand the need for 24 hours at times. He can go hungry.

It is odd isn't it to find the reception from Thais in America. I have found this same thing to be true. We went to an event at a local Temple where this strange atmosphere seemed to surround us. My husband complemented a women on her traditional clothes; she walked away.

Here in the USA people are happy to pay for a tan. Get it from the sun, spray it on or by weird lights in a room. But if we have a natural tone to our skin we are shunned by our own.

For the " wedding " you probably will need divorce docs if you where ever married, birth cet and passport. You must be aware of sin sod by now so be prepared.

Hey all,

I am a U.S. female citizen who is dating a mexican citizen. We met online and have been talking for a few months shy of a year. She visited the U.S. twice - once in Jan 2014 for a few days and another time in April for a few days. Each time she put that she was visiting a friend. The second time though, the cbp officer was giving her a hard time and asked if she had a bf to which she replied no but he was trying to trick her into answering yes by continuing to ask or rephrasing the question. She said no each time and said that her friend (stating "she) is who she is visiting. He said "oh a lady friend huh?" to which she responded yes and asked her how we knew eachother and that we met through a mutual friend (which is not the case - we met online through a dating site). She was scared that she was going to be denied entry if she told him that we met online. So my questions are:

1. She stated that she is visitng a friend - is this truely considered lying if the officer did not ask if we were dating?

2. She told him that we met through a mutual friend when really we met online - will this come back to bite us?

3. She has already visited twice this year, would it be advisable for her to visit anymore? She has only been here for a total of 6 days between both trips and always has a return ticket. And if she were to visit again, if asked why she is visiting should she state her gf? I know they keep address info on file and it would be the same.

4. If she is denied entry due to dating a U.S. citizen how bad is that? Is this something that isn't a big deal as long as the next time she visits she has more evidence of ties? Or is this kept on record as a big deal and can cause issues in the future? The law is so ridiculously complex and of course not straight forward.

Our relationship is amazing and we talk ALL of the time - I have been down to MX to visit her as well for a few days. We are thinking about a fiance Visa since this would be our only option to be together in the U.S. (the relationship is 100% real).

If anyone can provide any information I would be so greatful! I am willing to do whatever I can for us to be together (legally of course).

Your question should be about simply telling the truth which is what must be done. If she doesn't she may suffer serious consequences later.

# 1 Its seems she is in fact visiting a friend. If asked if she " dates " that friend the she knows the answer.

# 2 She has lied once. She shouldn't test the system again.

# 3 How many times she can enter is always up to the officer. Yes because that's the truth. Keep in mind the experience level of these officers.

# 4 It isn't bad unless she is denied due to lies. There is of course a record of her entries and attempts. The law seems complex if you don't understand it or are trying to avoid what the intentions are.

Your relationship is far beyond a normal friendship. If you want to have her with you inside the USA make sure its all founded in truth and there shouldn't be a problem. Play with the system and plan on moving to Mexico. She has been lucky to have been granted a tourist visa which she shouldn't abuse.

Harpa your advice makes sense 100% as always. Why didn't I think of it myself? Thanks!

My husband has a Drink Driving Conviction (no collision or incident just driving while over limit) back in April 2007 which resulted in - one year driving suspension -fines of around $600 - No point on his driving licence. Reading form I-485 instructions it says he needs original or certified copy of the arrest record but in the Form I-485 itself on the Yes or No questions 1.a it says excluding traffic violations.

Do you know which one is correct to follow? And if this is going to delay or refuse his case? Thanks

Harpas advice is good but I disagree about the clinics not knowing which shots to have because in that area they are very experienced with immigrants.

The DUI was in the USA or Holland? Either way it wont cause a denial. In Calif for example the first DUI is considered a misdemeanor I believe. If it was in San Diego the court house at 221 W Broadway may be able to help find the documents.
