Watsonville, CA asked in Criminal Law, DUI / DWI and Immigration Law for California

Q: Will my husband immigration spousal application be denied if he never attend to a alcohol program after dui?

He was never given any information about where to call to attend in court and he got his license in 2015. When he leaves to Juarez for his interview will they dig this up and deny his petition? He has no other arrest than a dui in 2009. He completed work release and court probation.

A: much more info needed.

however, if he did not do anything that was ordered then there would be an outstanding BENCH WARRANT for his arrest......and that will come up.

I am not an immigration lawyer and you need to consult with one.
