H1B with Arrest Record


Recommended Posts

I was arrested and fingerprinted on charges of Reckless Driving - Misdemeanor, possibly due to speed.

However, the prosecutor offered to reduce charges to "Careless Driving" - a class-B traffic violation, and not a criminal charge.

If I accept this, then I have to pay only a fine, and I do not get a DL suspension or any other penalty.

So far, I have not received any email from USICS or consulate regarding any visa revocation due to the initial charges.

What are my chances of getting an H1 extension if I go for visa interview/stamping at Delhi consulate? Has my visa been revoked already?

I will have the arrest record, however, the final court document would state only a traffic violation and not a criminal conviction.
