getting arrested

[cassmith]

how does a first time DUI affect me now that i have my greencard...can i get deported???

Yes , a felony can be used to deport you.
I suggest you pay a lawyer what he wants to get it off your record .

or move to a state where DUI does not show in your driving record.

Caution

Because a DUI is very serious, Do make sure and have it taken care of.
When you apply for citizenship, even if it is not on your record, It is extremly important to list it. I personally believe ( I am not an attorney) that this will not prevent you from gaining your citizenship not disclosing every single ticket you had Will Bann You From Becaming A Citizen for the Lack Of Good Moral Characteh> lieing to BICE.
Good luck to you
