How will reckless driving arrest affect my H1B visa stamping?

[tennischamp01]

Hi All,

I was arrested and finger-printed in virginia for reckless driving under misdemeanor (apparently misdemeanor is a crime in VA). It was the first and only arrest, court hearing date is in Aug and my lawyer will be trying to get it reduced to a speeding ticket. I just got H1B visa approved and planning to go to India in Dec for visa stamping.

1. How will the reckless driving arrest affect the visa stamping?

2. Should I disclose this to my employer assuming I get 221g and it takes weeks(?) to get the visa stamped since I might be missing on work? Or take a chance of not disclosing it hoping that there will be no 221g?
