DUI and F1 visa re-entry to the US

[raffertym]

Hi all!

I have been a F1 Visa student for about 3 years in the US. I was arrested for drunk driving in California. In court I pleaded no contest and received a minimal sentence which was 1 year probation, 48 hours of community work and a suspended license along with a required alcohol program. The court gave me an extended time period to complete the community work and alcohol program since I was returning to my home country for the summer. I did not consult an immigration attorney, which looking back, was rather stupid. I'm back in my country now and worried that when I return next month I will encounter problems in the airport as I try to re-enter. My I-20 is in order and I have a year left before it expires, but I am concerned that I need to bring a medical document from a panel physician back with me even though nobody so far has advised me that. The reason I mention the medical document is because I read about it online, but I am not sure it applies to my situation. What are the likely events for me when I arrive in the US in a months time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
