I was arrested for DUI — could this affect my green card application and outcome?
I was previously arrested for DUI. I’m now considering pursuing employment-based immigration for a green card.
I’d like to know if this DUI arrest record could affect my green card application and its outcome.
DUI is considered a crime of moral turpitude, so it can affect your green card eligibility review. It can even be grounds for removal. If you were charged with something like DUI or DWI, it would be best to discuss it thoroughly with an experienced attorney to work through the issue properly.
