I am here on H1 visa and got arrested sometime back on some crminal charges. I pleaded not guilty to those charges and went for a Jury trial. I was declared not guilty by the Jury.
Please let me know If these charges in my records are going to impact my Visa renewal or Green card Processing.
Please advise or If some one can advise me some Immigration Lawyer who deal with these cases,that would be very helpful.
thanks in advance

the FBI does have records of ALL arrests
even if for a minor class B misdemeanour.
come clean on your I-485 application.
if there was no conviction, you will have no
problems.
but the question on the form does not just ask if
you were convicted. it asks if you were arrested.
and the answer to that is YES in your case.

Even thogh I do agree with "worried sick", FBI also has a list of citations. Usually on a DUI charge, they look at your records (police) and if you have no prior convictions, u are usually given a citation to appear in court (you are not locked up in the jail) and let go.

Lets put it this way. As long as there was no injury or death involved in your DUI and it was a first offense, it is not a problem. Be sure to tell your attorney about this.

PS : I am not a lawyer. But my lawyer told me this. You have to submit your conviction papers and disposition papers (the one you can get from court after you have served any sentence like DUI school etc;)
