H1B And Speeding Ticket

Good afternoon,


I was in USA last 6 month under waiver visa program (2 time 90days) and unfortunalty get a speeding ticket with reckless driving.

Actually in France, my company want me to go back to US but this time to work and under H1B visa


Can this ticket make me trouble to get the VISA ?

Regards

Did you resolve the ticket, or is it still outstanding? In what state?

The court is tomorrow. My lawyer will go to arrange that. He told me maybe lose of driving licence privilege..

But on the DS 156 they is a question about arrestation. And i'll ave to say yes

And the state in which this occurred is... ?

sorry,
it is in North Carolina, and my job should be in the same place

Presumably you are charged under this statute:

If you were arrested for the offense then, yes, you would have to state that you were arrested. Ideally your lawyer will resolve the charge tomorrow as something less than a misdemeanor, which would make it highly unlikely to affect your immigration status.
