HI guys,

Please help, I have a situation here. I got a DUI and still under probation. I want to go to India and get my H1 stamping(from F1 status), but I was reading in the forums that I should say yes to question on DS-156 if I ever been arrested and If I do that I have to wait to get waiver from DC for 30 to 45 days. but I have to come back to US with in 45 days otherwise my probation officer will issue warrent against me. So my question is

What If I say No on DS-156, What are the chances of catching it.

or should i cancel my India trip. Will I have problem in future to get visa stamping.
Can I travel with my F1 Visa, its still valid.
I did my masters here and working for last 1 year for a company.

your answers are eagerly awaited.

Thanks
Ankur
 
hello

please dont go until your probation is over. You do not want to take that risk. di you get get your h1 extenison approve here in US, and if so when and how long was it approved for. wer the i94 attached to the approvals. how long did take you and what center processed your application.
 
Definitely NOT a good idea to lie on your DS156 or any other forms that asks you whether "you have been arrested..." They want to know the truth regardless of the outcome (guilty/not guilty). Remember that the consequences of lying will get you deported. It's best to wait until your case reaches resolution. Do complete your time, fine, community service, etc. I haven't left the country for re-stamping since my last visa expired. But I am a paranoid person, so that's just me. There's a post I've read where I have seen people get their H1 stamps in US consulates in Delhi; the person provided all the certified court papers that they have completed their fine, time, etc. I mean it basically comes down to the discretion of consular officer. Don't leave the country unless you absolutely have to. Whatever you do mark YES to the DS 156
