I was arrested 3 times (for traffic tickets), and got approved in 3 months. So I think it depends on case by case, if your case is very appealing and you have good representation with a lawyer (or just organize your case really well i guess), I think you have higher chances vs having everything un-organized and on top of that having arrests, etc.. so I think details might make difference here.. so I think in total I was in Jail like 4 times before applying.. but I think they conciser most traffic tickets harmless. And I was in Jail again just 4 months ago, (after being approved), I had no insurance was starting my new job.. I couldn't help it, I had no resources at the time to get insurance, and had to work.. But now I have insurance and getting my drivers license, and everything in order!. No more bs traffic tickets for no reason, and taken to jail for not having stuff..
, oh yeah and was approved in 3 months.
Doddream What was your arrest for?
