Hi,
I graduated from school in december 2010 and currently working on OPT for a software company
I was arrested for DWI on October 21, 2010 and the case is still pending.
My BAC was 0.18.
The situation ;
I was coming from a birthday party and while taking a u -turn my car's axle broke (it was in bad condition already) and that steered me on the right and i hit the curb and got 2 flat tires.
No personal injury no property damage.
Some lady passing by called cops and cops arrested me for DWI after field tests.
My lawyer suggested to file for motion to suppress as nobody saw me driving but I am not sure about the lady who called cops.
The DA has offered me the initial plea bargain -
18 months probation,
60 hours community service
DWI education class
Victim Impact Panel
DLD device
$1000 fine
I have a lawyer and i can get the probation reduced to 1 year.
I have a EAD card valid till December 2011 and my employer would file for my H1B visa.
I am going to plea guilty and try to get probation for less than a year or 1 year.
I want to know the consequences of this DWI conviction for my H1B visa application.
I am in USA and working on OPT so it would be change of status from F1 to H1B.
Could anybody please help me out to forsee the situation ahead of me regarding my H1 or deportation etc?
