comeback Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I was arrested for a driving incident, possibly because I was over speed limit. However, DA reduced it to "Careless driving" which is a fine-only class-B traffic violation (not a crime). Is my visa automatically revoked? I have not received any email from any consulate. Will I get to know when boarding flight to US, or after landing in US? Will my next H1B extension/renewal be denied due to this arrest, even though I have an approved I-140. Thanks in advance.

pontevecchio Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 You are being very coy. If arrested for speeding then you need to specify the aggravating circumstances. What else happened that you were arrested rather than getting a ticket? Was any alcohol involved even peripherally? Quote Link to comment

No there was absolutely no alcohol involved, and they did not even do any alcohol-test on me. I fully cooperated with the police. I am not sure why I was arrested. Possibly because there were other adult passengers in my car? Edited June 3, 2019 by comeback Quote Link to comment
dsm0029 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Were you given citation & then release or were fingerprinted & booked as part of arrest? If you are fingerprinted then the USCIS knew about your arrest Quote Link to comment
xTDx Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Most states would arrest you if you go over 100 or go 80 over 35 speed limit. Was this the case ? What was your speed and the speed limit. Quote Link to comment

I traveled to India after this incident and I am back in the US now. My visa did not get revoked, nor was I prevented from boarding. I did have secondary questioning on port of entry, but on showing documents it was resolved. I still have not filed for H1B extension yet. Quote Link to comment
