very unusual question

[reginaait 0]

Hello Eveyone,

I have to say that bringing my husband to the US has been very difficult to say the least! Ok with that said my husband drove the car we bought for him drunk on Halloween! He is very embarrassed and sorry and willing to pay the price for his mistake. While checking the website tonight I found out that probation is for two+plus years.. Well the long and short of it is we have decided we want to live in Morroco, instead of the US.. my question is if my husband is not a citizen of the US ( does not even have green card) will he not be allowed to leave if he has to serve the probation charge in Illinois?

Thank you!!

Running away from responsibility because it's inconvenient? Good choice

This isn't really an immigration question at all, so i'm not sure that you will get the answers you need.

Personally, I would recommend that you and your Husband speak with a lawyer.

no we are not running away at all.. we are trying to find out the right thing to do.. if we wanted to run away we would have done that a couple of days after the incident

If he is found guilty, pleas guilty or no contest in a court of law, then the judge will decide whether probation is appropriate (it depends on many factors, I.e. BAC, speeding, etc). If he does get probation and moves out of the state without notifying his PO or even out of the country, an arrest warrant will be issued and it could complicate his situation if he ever plans to return to the US.

Find an experienced attorney and good luck.

Regina,

your husband will have his day in court, and if this is his first D.U.I., he most likely will get probation, perhaps combined with a fine and the order to join a program.

If that happens to be the case, your husband should sign up and attend.

Probation means nothing else than being under a magnifying glass of the law, and if he gets caught again driving under the influence within the specified time frame, the fist of justice would hit him right in the face. If course, if you guys move to Morocco, which is perfectly fine, they won't have a chance to catch him again in the US.

So, yes, see what the judgment is in this case, pay the fine (if applicable), join the program (if applicable), and thereafter you are free to move without any fear of repercussions at a later time, should you ever decide to move back to The United States.
