An H-1B worker in the US is facing brutal consequences for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charges. While a punishment is definitely warranted, he allegedly got his visa revoked even before the court could pass its judgment.
Taking to social media, the immigrant worker disclosed he was pulled over with no accidents or damages in November 2024. While he accepts his mistake, legally his case is still pending in court and he hasn't been convicted.

This was when he was met with the shocker when the consulate e-mailed him about his visa getting revoked after four months of court proceedings. Now, the worker is left in the dark, panicking over losing his job.
Will his employer find out? Does he have to leave immediately? Can he still apply for a green card? All these questions are roaming in his mind and no one has clear answers.

Some users suggested he should talk to his immigration lawyer and not leave the country as his visa revocation might not affect his immigrant status in the country. But the uncertainty remains.
The worker is now regretting his action but is it too late? H-1B holders need to be extra careful as a single mistake can cost you everything.
