The U.S. authorities have issued a stern reminder that drinking and driving is strictly prohibited under American law, and violations can have serious immigration consequences.
According to officials, any foreign national arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) risks having their U.S. visa immediately revoked. Such an arrest may also make the individual ineligible for future visa applications, including renewals or other immigration benefits.
Legal experts emphasize that the United States treats traffic safety as a national priority, and DUI offenses are not considered minor violations. Even first-time offenders may face visa cancellation, deportation proceedings, fines, and imprisonment depending on state laws.
Immigration attorneys advise all visa holders to strictly follow U.S. laws to maintain their lawful status and avoid actions that could jeopardize their right to remain in or return to the country.
