While a communicable disease such as gonorrhea can make a person inadmissible and ineligible for a visa, you stated that you had and treated it over 10 years ago. Therefore, it is very unlikely that your history of having gonorrhea 10 years ago will prevent you from obtaining an immigration visa.... View More

I had gotten a procedure done in 2019. I was paying on it until I couldn’t afford to anymore. My procedure was also infected and I had to go in for another to get it all cleaned out. I am not happy with any part of the procedure. I still have problems with my foot now.

I have a misdemeanor from 2004 for unlawful alcohol sale and I just got reinstated no arrest for pretrial for Medicaid fraud. I was told my name will stay on the list ten years. Can I get my records clear or do I have to wait ten years?
answered on Sep 5, 2021
Your question is not clear. I guess you are trying to say your license to sell alcohol has been reinstated. "No arrest for pretrial for Medicaid fraud", means what? Does that mean you are out on bond with a misdemeanor charge pending? Call a criminal attorney to clarify your question.
