Hi Friends:
Any comemnts/suggestions will be great and thanks in advance.

I got arrested and charged with DWI (first time) in Dec, 2006 (in a parking lot; no accident or otehr factors). I have hired an attorney and he sais that I won't have to go to jail again since I was there for a day after the arrest. Worst is probation, fine, community service etc. Agree with my lawyer or is there any chance of getting in jail again?

I am a permanent resident since Nov, 2003. My biggest concern now is :
I need to go to India for a month (on May 4th) and am worried if I can get arrested (for any reason) while returning at immigration. Any chance? if there's any chance, I will cancel my trip. I am really scared and any comments will be helpful.

My first court date is on April 30th where the lawyer will try to reset the date after my return.

Is the penalty different for non US citizen?

Please share your experience or if you know about someone gone through same situation.

Thanks,
akpdwi
