[quote=GUEST55168,443446]I'm kind of in the same boat with a former dui. I work in photography and had a last minute job come up in china. think the consulate we'll be sending this to is the one in san francisco.

i can't really take a chance on this trip to china, so i'm stuck AND we're slated to start the project october 14th.

guess my question is: anyone here who has actually 'ADMITTED' it and explained the extenuating circumstances and had it go well?

reason i ask is this stuff came back to bite me recently as i'd always been up to canada to work with no problem, then they ran me once b/c i was wearing prescription sunglasses and when i took them off i was squinting. for some reason, that got me pulled over into the interrogation room.

they found a former dui that i received in graduate school, then as a consequence of satisfying all the probation/mandates from the courts, i had to spend 48hrs in jail after my move to washington state. the dui happened in march of 2005 and think i spent the time in jail like march 2006.

when the canadian border guys started asking me about things, they said 'tell me what happened in iowa' i told them that was supposed to be off the record, then he said 'well what this arrest in washington state?' i went on and on and about it and they rather understood but told me if i'd come back thru canada and got ran, i could be barred b/c it hadn't been 10 years.

i wasn't up in CAN for work that trip, but they still let me through. . .[/quote]
