Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyA single DUI should not impact your eligibility to apply for a green card, but be careful, the officer could make a determination of inadmissibility if you have problems with alcohol.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyA single DUI, without any aggravating factors, typically is not a ground of inadmissibility or removability. You will have to complete a medical exam where you will be asked about alcohol and drug use and any addiction or problems you have in that area. If the medical exam report is clear, you should not have any problem.
