H1-B revaidation and DUI

Hi,

I had DUI last year September . I pleaded guilty in front of judge and now every thing is fine. Now my visa was getting over so my company had applied for extension, which i have got just now. But now i want to revalidate that H1 in US. But when you fill the for DS-156, there is one clause which asks something like..

Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offence or crime .......bla..bla.

Now i dont want to say yes for that but does any one has any idea ?? please help me.. don't know what to do ?

Thanks.

You should be honest and tactful with your response to the question and extent of your disclosure in case the State Department decides to verify it.
