Hi Attorney,

 

Recently I came through posts, that people with a DUI arrest record are being issued visa revocations?

 

I got arrested for DUI in Sep-2015 in New Jersey with starting limit of 0.8bac; Still case is pending in Municipal court. I have hired a Dui attorney but not immigration attorney

 

Currently I am on second H1b extension valid till 2more years (visa stamping has ended), also my i140 is approved & my wife is on h4 EAD. 

 

My Question is: Will there be any problem for me, when I Apply for next H1B extension in 2018 and any issues for my wife EAD status?

Will it be still any impact/Problems for me going further, If I my DUI charges drop to Reckless.

(Just FYI in NJ DUI is considered as misdemeanor, not a criminal offence)

 

Thanks in advance, please suggest me best scenario to outcome this position

Hi,

 

In NJ its not criminal offense and considered as motor vehicle offense with heavy fines and license suspension.Also i guess they wont take the finger print . From my understanding it wont enter into databases unless there is way to trace different way.

But not sure how to find if person visa is revoked if they dint get any updates on the same from consulate...Hope it wont popup your name
