hi,

im lawful permanent resisdent based on marriege. since this year 2010 ( i removed my condition march this year)

working as a nurse in arizona.

i want to visit my country, korea on this summer but i have a concern. i have a dui record.

it was first dui but i got an extreme dui back in 2007. i didn't hurt anybody it was just me. its been 3years and all punishments are done and my case is closed. i recently checked w/ court and they said my probation period is ended and im clear.

i asked several other immigration lawyers, they said first dui which is not a felony, shouldn't be a problem to re enter u.s.

but they said i might have to go through secondary inspection at the port of entry.

do u think it is safe to travel with my situation? and what do they do on secondary inspection? are they just gonna ask me questions regarding dui?

are they gonna ask detailed questions?

im very worried about this so please reply me with your best answer. thank you!

I would not be worried about it.

Secondary inspections are just more questions and closer look at your credentials.

But I doubt it would even come up. (your travelling, not driving...)

It is totally safe to travel. There are many people who come back from travels everyday who hava dui records. If anything, you should worry about it coming up during citizenship if you decide to go that route but if you do not plan on becoming a citizen then you are in the clear. Just make sure it doesn't happen again because you can be denied at POE if they see a pattern.
