i have read through some of the blogs related and hope someone can help me out with my case, i filed my i485 application and i have received my fingerprinting application set for the 10/14/09. This past weekend i was arrested for SIMPLE DWI and i am due to go to court on 11/10. Now can someone help me out on what to expect from USCIS. Will my process be in jeorpardy now.
Since i had already filed my paperwork prior to getting arrested, should i inform immigration and have them add this to my paperwork or should i wait for my interview and bring it up.
I would appreciate any help on this.
 
Wait for your interview. DWIs are bad as far as immigration is concerned. However, I don't know if one DWI is going to do much harm.

Not an immigration advice but WTF were you thinking? How would you like one in your family to be killed by a drunk driver?

What is a simple DWI? As far as I know, anyone asked to appear in court for a DWI can't claim the issue is a simple one. Where you FP for this incident and mug shot taken? In the past, have you ever being arrested for a similar case or something else? How much was the fine for this arrest? (If any?) Do you have a lawyer representing you for this case or you are going to face-off with the officer and DA?:confused:

He probably means a misdemeanor DWI.


I didn't know driving while impotent (DWI) is a crime. I suspect police officers should start offering levitra in addition to breathalyzer test..:rolleyes: I am still waiting to read a response from the OP, maybe the officer was just overzealous, he was clearly aroused by speeding...:eek:
 
Simple DWI is where there were no accidents or aggravating circumstances arising out of it. I was waiting for the police to clear up an accident, and wasnt concentrating. So the cop came up to me to check why i hadnt started moving. It is a class B misdemeanour. and is my first offence ever - i have a clean record, and i was fingerprinted and photographed
