Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Your spouse can file for a waiver of inadmissibility. She would have to prove that your absence in the US causes her an extreme hardship. Not an easy task in itself, it will be made harder by your arrest record: even though you can show that the case was dismissed, the Immigration officer who will be deciding your wife's waiver application will see the FBI report showing all the charges. Decisions on waiver are completely discretionary, which means that you cannot go to court on a denial. So the your chances will depend largely on how well the waiver application will be prepared.
