He wants to know this question. Between 2002 & 2007 he had a P1 visa for Pro Sports in California. He acquired 3 DUI's which were all expunged from the DMV. He now has a job offer for another P1 Visa and was told that his chances of approval are slim because even if DMV is expunged it is not at the Embassy. Is this true? Does he need a lawyer to expunge the govt file? We are confused as some say yes or some say no? Sincerely, Nancy <strong>ATTORNEY RESPONSE:<</strong>strong> There is no easy answer to this question. 3 DUI's can cause all types of problems. Therefore you are getting both yes and no answers.

I received no jail time with 3 year probation. i violated my probation once but it was reinstated. I completed my 3 years of probation, paid all fees, completed a drug rehabilitation program. Can you reduce this felony to a misdemeanor first before applying for an expungement. Please also advise your fees. also i'd like to know if it would be possible and how much it would cost to seal the records. Thanks for your time <strong>The type of charge "intent to sale" also known as possession for sale, is a straight felony. It can not be reduced to a misdemeanor under California (Assuming it is a violation of Health and Safety Section 11378, or 11351). I can still expunge this case, and the fees vary depending on which court. The fees charged by the court also vary depending on the county.
