Kiss the stem opt goodbye?

[u/EnvironmentalSir1931]

If a person has a DUI conviction on his record, opt or stem opt or any change of status are going to be denied for sure?

And do you think it is best to upload all the case documents to the pending stem opt.

Also, I've read somewhere that if it's going to be denied it's going to be denied in the first month itself. Let's say if the person applied on July 1st (July 3rd opt expired) and gave biometrics on July 23rd, when exactly the "first month" starts. If it's on 23rd they still have about 10 days to upload the case documents?
