Nicky123 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm a resident of North Carolina and I got a reckless driving ticket in the state of Virginia on 20th Mar,2014 for speeding over 20 mph over the posted limit.Its a class 1 misdemeanor and I was asked to attend the court on May 14th,2014(I was not arrested or my fingerprints were taken).I have already approached a traffic attorney and he is working on my case to get this charge reduced to a minor infraction.I'm planning to go Canada end of this month for my H1-B visa stamping interview. My question is about mentioning this charge in the DS-160 forms and if YES, what is its impact on my visa approval. As i'm not yet convicted can i mention NO for the questions in DS Forms. Can they see this charge in the background check before a judgement is made in the court. Please help me out.Thanks. Link to comment

vivek.04540 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 hi Can anyone please advise on the above points. to summarize Do we have to mention Yes in the column section (have you ever been convicted of a crime) in the DS-160 form for H1b Stamping If the Reckless Driving has been converted to a infraction (improper driving)charge? Any advise would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Vivek Link to comment
