Viswasku Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 I am on H1, i got my visa extended 2 months back. My husband got dui with bac .105 and speeding ticket.they took him into police station had fingure prints and pictures.its his first dui. Will it effect my H1 and his H4 status.
pontevecchio Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 It certainly should not affect you. They may invalidate his visa and he may have to get a new one when he travels and there may be medical tests involved which may delay the visa by a few days. Please get a good DUI Lawyer and an Immigration Lawyer involved to do damage limitation.
xTDx Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 His H4, Yes. Your H1b, No. His visa can be assumed revoked already and he will need to appear at consulate for a new visa stamp along with any medical panel tests consulate orders him to go through. Contact an immigration attorney asap for in depth review for your and his case if you have any confusions or further specific questions.

His driving license is revoked we went for hearing. We took the attorney appointment. Do we need to take any immigration step. As we had approved visa as of now.
pontevecchio Posted March 27, 2019 Report Posted March 27, 2019 A visa is a physical stamp in the passport used to enter a country. In this case they may prudentially revoke his H4 visa stamp which means he can stay till the current I94 and if he wants to travel, he will need a new H4 visa.
giri26 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Posted April 9, 2019 Also involve an immigration attorney as well to make sure you are making the right calls. You don't want to accept some plea without understanding immigration consequences.
Sharp52 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Posted May 1, 2019 First DUI is not a career-ending offense. It is a lot of hassle. Try to avoid going to stamping soon. It gets easier if you let some time elapse Life should go on as before
