DUI on J1 visa
I got a DUI in December 2018 (no accident, no kids in the car), and I am on a J1 visa (au pair program). My host family decided to keep me, and I have support from my au pair agency. I am still in the US, working as an au pair.
My first court meeting was supposed to be on March 14th, but due to a storm in Colorado, the court was closed. Today I received an information from my attorney, that the next court meeting will be in May. I am really nervous about the fact that my first au pair year ends in August (August 27th 2019), and that I won't be able to solve this DUI problem.
My question is, can my visa be revoked after I plea guilty? I mean, I am obviously guilty, and I really want to be able to face the punishment, but if my visa gets revoked, and I will have to leave the country, then I won't be able to solve this problem.
