Re: DUI affect on L1 Visa status
He will lose his driver's license for 6 months and will have to serve some time on the weekend work program or county jail. In addition to that he will be required to pay a hefty fine. It is unlikely that the ins will be alerted to the situation. Generally a misdemeanor is not grounds for removal from the country.
