Re: immigration laws

There is a chance that your conviction would be considered a crime involving moral turpitude, in which case it could potentially lead to a finding that you are inadmissible to enter the United States.

However, driving under the influence, if it is the only conviction you have, may be subject to an exception.

Essentially, the most prudent step for you is to consult an immigration lawyer who could properly analyze your conviction and present it properly for your application.
