That is not "entirely true". It would be a CIMT as long as "evil intent" is part of the statute itself. DUI in California is only a regulatory offense. This is not legal advice so talk to an attorney if you need legal help.

Being admissible is not enough, AOS is a discretionary form of relief. Perhaps you tried to influence the adjudicator not to look at your criminal issues. The matter is too complicated for you to depend on a public board for information, you need to contact an attorney as quickly as possible...

DUI is not a CIMT, and it's not an aggravated felony. Other than the shame that comes with the conviction, you shouldn't worry about it. But you should consult with an immigration attorney to get valid answers to your delicate questions, this is NOT legal advice of any kind.

It appears that your criminal convictions made you inadmissible as they are CIMT.

Since it...

There's a difference between being statutory eligible for a benefit (such as a waiver) and being entitled to the benefit. The fact that the AG "may" waive certain grounds if you qualify does not mean that the AG "will" waive the grounds if you qualify. Showing that you qualify under the statute...

Theft, of any kind, is a CIMT. It makes no difference in the nature of the crime if you rob a bank or steal a pencil from the convenience store. However, most petty theft crimes will go under the petty offense exception, a ONE TIME ONLY "automatic waiver" for very small offenses. This is NOT...
