DUIs and U.S. Immigration

A DUI on someone's record is certainly cause for concern if that person wishes to apply for a green card, U.S. citizenship, or another immigration benefit. However, the results are not automatic, and depend in part on the facts of the situation and the benefit being sought.
Effect of a DUI on Immigration Status: General
How a DUI affects your ability to get and keep a green card, or apply for U.S. citizenship.
Where DUIs fit into the grounds of inadmissibility and deportability.
Any criminal offense that can cause a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) to lose resident status or be denied U.S. citizenship will affect the immigration status of family members who are relying on the person as a qualifying relative for an immigration benefit.
A DUI will be considered an aggravated felony only if certain factors are present. However, for any noncitizen of the U.S., a DUI offense should still be taken very seriously (and avoided if possible).
