manu992 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi All, I recently got a reckless driving ticket in Virginia. The judge convicted me for reckless driving, I was asked to pay fine - no license suspension, no arrest. I’m on opt now, I don’t know whether to report this while H1b stamping in DS -160 in the field ‘Have you ever been arrested or convicted . . . ’. Also, as I recently got the conviction, I still have chance to appeal it in the court and try another time and hope for betterment (which may or may not happen) of the result. Is it worthy to appeal? Please help me with this. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
natan111 Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 You should report it. It should have no adverse consequences unless it was alcohol-related (e.g. if the original charge was DUI). Quote Link to comment
manu992 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Will this conviction has any effects on immigration at the port of entry to US? I have plans to travel to India. Quote Link to comment
