Show full summary
- People seeking entry to the U.S.: A conviction or an admission that fits a jurisdiction's DUI/DWI law can make a noncitizen inadmissible and bar visas or admission.
- Noncitizens already in the U.S.: A DUI/DWI conviction can be charged as a deportable offense and lead to removal proceedings regardless of whether local law called it a misdemeanor or a felony.
- How officials judge offenses: Immigration authorities would apply the law of the place where the offense occurred, including state, tribal, and local rules, and rely on convictions or admissions of the offense's essential elements.
