H-1b Stamping with Aggravated DUI arrest reduced to misdemeanor

[Paridhi Dixit]

I was arrested in August 2022 for a DWI with a minor in the car (while I was parked at a gas station). Later, this charge was reduced to a DWI class B misdemeanor with deferred adjudication and probation of 18 months. I can get this case expunged after two years. Some lawyers have told me that if I go for stamping, my case will possibly be denied because of the "aggravating" factor present in the police report during the time of arrest. Can someone please advise if this is true? I had read online that for H-1b stamping with DUI, they refer you to a panel physician exam, but I want to know how the aggravating factor would affect this case.

You should be fine , make sure to take your final disposition document.  Also it will take at least a month or 2 to get approval so be ready for that. 

If you need more details you can DM me
