    Default L1 Visa Extension and DUI Charge

    This is for State of Arizona !

    I have read lot of old threads but looking to see if someone had a similar situation - Got a DUI in June and judgement is not yet over - Most likely charges will be 1 day in Jail ( Lisence suspension for 90 days , fines etc., ) - My L1B visa is up for extension in November - Would jail hamper the chances fo extension ? Thanks in advance !

    Also, While filing for extension i will not be filling DS 156 ( Stamping will be done in India when i visit and yes i will mention YES about the question for Arrests / Conviction ) - Since i will not be mentioning my arrest in the extension ( No option to do so - Employer will be filing for petition extension not DS 156 ) - Would this create issues in the future ?

    Any time you choose to commit a crime while you're visiting another country, you put your immigration status at risk. If you're asked about your criminal history on an immigration form or at a port of entry, you're expected to answer truthfully.

    I would nonetheless expect that you'll get the extension (but can't promise).

    Thank you - I realise it's a blunder - Learnt hard way - Anyways , Thanks for your reply @

    1 clarification required is - While applying for extension , employer just sends petition extension and not actual stamping - so there is NO WAY i can declare my ARREST and yes , while going for Stamping i will be asked to fill DS 156 form and question pops out asking about my previous arrests / jail time - i wont be going for stamping for a year or so ( I just came back from a vacation ) would this create issues as i applied for petition extension but havent mentioned about my arrest !

    PS : Employer is not aware about the arrest / jail time ...
