Thanks - that's what I was looking at. I don't see anything there that carries anything near a five or ten year sentence for a first offence with no damage/injury/death. I'm getting the sense that much of the hysteria and misinformation about this issue is overblown. I can see a border agent refusing access when his screen just says "DUI," when there's no way to tell if that actually means Vehicular Homicide, but I suspect that TRP's don't get denied when an application documents the whole story, which is typically an offence that if committed in Canada would carry a cash penalty, loss of license for a year and no jail time.

I have gathered all of my offence documentation, wrote my Event/Condition document, started on actual application and that's where the bottom fell out (again.) Who remembers the year, let alone month, that they switched apartments 30 years ago? Same with employment history - my current employer is the only place I've ever worked that's still in business - hard to see the benefit of listing places that can't be verified, but the form is the form, I guess.
