H1B USA to Canada:Traffic Violation

[Rocker007]

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and looking for an advice.Basically I'm on H1B Visa and working in USA. I've completed my 3 year's here and my nationality is Indian. Couple of months ago I was briefly arrested for an hour. I was taken to the police station on the suspicion of DUI. However as I was below BAC limit ie . 0.78 therefore I was immediately released. No finger prints or mugshots we're taken either. Neither my license was revoked.
Though the DWI charges were pressed but later on they were amended to minor traffic violation as I was driving 50 mph on 35 mph limit. I had to pay $150 fine plus court fees. I'd like to apply for the skilled Visa. Please let me know if this incident effect my eligibility.

Definitely, check with an immigration attorney. You need more than fellow members' experiences.

No issues if there is no criminal charges or arrest record. Just with 15mile speed issue is not a problem. I had one traffic ticket and had no issues on my PR(as they dont ask on traffic tickets). Major traffic offenses are anyway dealt with arrests hence seems no issue.

But while crossing US side, cbp was asking if that was the only ticket i got. So only dui/arrest gets one into trouble.
