DUI Arrest ,not convicted >> Travelling to India for stamping

[kds6883]

Hi , 
I have been arrested for DUI in Septmber 2015 , but haven't been convicted in court as my BAC level is under limits only. 
It was reduced to Reckless driving only. 

As i was looking into some forum [https://travel.state.gov/] , i find this below. I am unable to understand this fully , from what i can does it mean , if you have DUI arrest without conviction also , the visa can be revoked ?? Is any one here who travelled to india for Visa Stamping ? Please help me.

6. Please describe the policy considerations that led to this change, and in particular to 
the decision to revoke nonimmigrant visas upon arrest for a DUI-related offense. 
The Visa Office implemented the requirement for consular officers to prudentially 
revoke nonimmigrant visas for DUI arrests subsequent to visa issuance because 
driving under the influence is indicative of a possible INA 212(a)(1)(A)(iii) 
ineligibility for a possible physical or mental disorder with associated harmful 
behavior. Consular officers have been required to refer any nonimmigrant visa 
applicant with one alcohol related arrest in the last five years or two or more in the 
last 10 years to the panel physician for a medical examination prior to visa issuance to 
rule out a medical ineligibility. Previously, however, there was no consequence for 
DUI arrests subsequent to visa issuances until the time of the next visa application 
which could be up to ten years. The Department takes seriously drunk driving/driving 
under the influence, driving while intoxicated, and similar arrests (“DUI” arrests). It 
is both a public safety issue and evidence of a possible visa ineligibility. DUI arrests 
are sufficient cause for a referral to a panel physician. Because such an arrest is 
indicative of a possible visa ineligibility, as of November 5, 2015, the Visa Office 
instructed consular officers to prudentially revoke the visas of visa-holders with a 
DUI arrest that has occurred within the past five years, unless that arrest has already 
been addressed within the context of a visa application.

I think all it means is that the visa issuing consulate needs to be aware of this before they issue you a visa. I would recommend getting a new visa stamp if you are visiting India again and letting them know about this, when you apply for a fresh stamp

Hi KDS,

 

Are you able to travel and come back to US without issues?
