  • B1/B2 Visa after DUI on H1-B

    I was working in the US for ~6 years. Right before I was moving back, I got a DUI. I have been convicted of a DUI & Hit-and-run *misdemeanor* and ordered by the court to 1) pay fine 2) X hours community service and 3) X hours online DUI classes. I have completed all 3 requirements.

    My next court hearing date is 28th August.
    I have a B1/B2 visa interview on 22nd August. I am hoping to visit the US for a work related event (I will have the relevant invitation & verification letters from my employer).

    I was reading up online and saw that most of DUI related cases are required to go for a medical checkup. But all of those cases were for renewing the H1-B visa.
    Has anyone had a case where they got a DUI on a H1-B visa and were applying for a B1/B2 visa? What should I expect?

    Thanks!

    Did your employer ever applied for your I140 while you were in USA on H1-B?

    DUI is considered equivalent to crime in USA, Getting any new non-immigrant visa after DUI is risky.

        That's another thing, getting an B1 visa is very difficult after showing an immigration intent.
