"DUI, while my Employer is Filing for my H1B visa this year"

This is the last attempt for filing my H1B Visa  . Currently on F1-OPT which is valid until 2021 FEB. 

My Employer is applying for my H1B visa this March 2020 

I was arrested for DUI the last weekend and I have my Lawyer hired and we have  court dates not any soon.  how does this affect my H1B visa approval if it all it is picked in the lottery ?  

Can Please anyone guide me through this.  

 

Thank you!

Visa might be approve, but you will have issues at POE and at the consulate when you go for visa interview.

Was concerned about RFE related to this issue.

Since my case will be still in pending and cannot provide any  proof/documentation for the closed case. 

[User099]

I don't think it will be an issue with the case pending, I don't think there will be an RFE for it.

Hi @gan1379 I'm facing a similar issue. Have you heard anything else about it? I got arrested yesterday and have to file visa extension in June. But initial court date is in May ending. I dont think I can get the case resolved before I can apply for extension. 

If anybody else has opinions or information, please let me know.

As long as you have certified court documents and police report, you will be fine, however generally court does not certify police report , you need to go to the police station and have the stamp your arrest report.
