Watton, MI DUI and OWI Law Firms & Lawyers

What do you mean not driving? Do you mean that you were driving and stopped before you made contact with the police? If that is the case, then YES, you can still be charged. Can you be charged without a breath test? Yes. All the prosecutor has to show ids that your operation of a motor vehicle was impaired due to drugs and/or alcohol. The fact that you refused a breath test can also be used as evidence against you in court ie, you refused because you knew you were under the influence.

Unfortunately, you have to show 5 years of good moral character before you can be eligible for citizenship. Depending on when you were sentenced for your DUI, you would have to wait for at least 5 years from the date of your conviction before applying again. The usual probation sentence period is 2 - 3 years, unless there are extenuating circumstances which would warrant a lengthier period. So shortening your probation probably will not help you. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
