Drink drive conviction in the UK and h1b stamping

[inferno11]

Hi All,

 

I live in the UK and planning to move to the US, and have got my h1b petition approved.

 

However, I looking for some advice before I go for the stamping.

 

Few months back, I got a drink drive conviction in the UK. Here they ban you from driving minimum being 9 months (based on breath test reading), I understand this was a irresponsible act, but I am concern If I should mention this when I go for h1b stamping in London, as in the UK a drink drive is a criminal offense.

 

If I go to India for stamping and dont mention this conviction in UK, am I risking it by not mentioning about it and would they find out at the port of entry or any time later ?

 

Can someone tell if this would affect my case ? 

 

Many thanks

If you are convicted for dui you have chance to get visa but tell the visa officer the truth.
