“After you arrived as a visitor to the US in the year [____], how long did it take for you to find a job?” The 90 Day Rule and 212(a)(6)(C)(i) Blues.

Case Studies

The applicant, from a Middle Eastern country, had a DUI in the United States. When he applied for another visa, he was denied after a 10-month 221(g) administrative process. He then contacted our firm, in which we were able to bring additional facts to the attention of the consular officer, including the applicant going through a rehabilitation process and the conviction being set aside. The consular officer sent the applicant for additional alcohol screening at a local clinic, and after the results came back clean, issued a visa to him.
