Coming N-400 Interview and DUI

[ramanusa]

Hi,

I just want some advice or opinion regarding a situation about my upcoming N-400 Interview.

On 07/2006 I was arrested for DUI, I hired a lawyer for it and on 09/2007 I was offered a plea bargain under which I would have to complete a DUI school, 80 hours of community service, pay a fine & attend a DUI victim meeting, and my DUI would be reduced to Reckless driving. I completed all of the requirements and the DUI got reduced to reckless driving.

Now should I hire a lawyer to go the Interview with me and If this DUI incident would have any kind of Impact on my Naturalization chances. Any opinion or advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanx!

You don't have to hire an attorney for your interview. If asked by Interview officer about the record be honest and explain the all that you have done and also provide the documentation on ( DUI class, community service, and reduce offense to reckless). Since you have showed good faith and you record is clean since then. Good luck.

This is not a legal advice.
