Plan B will be, I guess, telling the employer … they might not be supportive, same as if I tell them now I suppose …

Indeed … I can manage to get one month, which may be ok per sharings of experiences in India - but not sure about China.

I reached my max # of replies yesterday. Thanks for the comments around informing employer, and I would like to clarify my thoughts a bit - My employer does not have a policy requiring disclosure of situation like mine - that’s comparatively lenient. This is however different from how they might react if I voluntarily tell them - this could vastly different by specific individuals handling the information. The reason I’m asking in the OP re I-129S is that if I don’t need a new one, then, there is chance that I can handle this myself - if so, I would not risk the uncertainty of their reaction.

My employer is more lenient in this regard- only crime convicted on company premises mandates disclosure. That leaves me some space to wriggle …

Thanks - it’s unfortunate that my job responsibility would require me to travel 😞 I fully understand the uncertainties involved … it’s been extremely stressful

Thanks for the advice - I’ve retained my own immigration attorney and would like to augment that with whatever practical experience sharing I can get. My biggest concern of talking to company lawyer is that it might negatively impact my employment / career.

Thank you for your sharing. Yes, it was a bad decision and I learnt it the hard way - I’m remorseful ever since. I’m now trying to put my life back together if that’s still possible.

Thanks - I have seen multiple posts / experience sharing on other forum of Indian nationals getting new stamp after being referred to panel physician examination - I feared that might be survivorship bias, please can you share more on this point? and I have not discussed this with company lawyer fearing potential negative impact to my employment / career. Thanks again

Hi all - Urgent help / sharing needed - My L1A was revoked following a DUI arrest - my case was dropped with DA refused to charge (BAC 0.03, well below 0.08 limit). I need to go back to China on a business trip so will have to address the visa stamp issue at the same time: * Do I need a new I-129S from my employer (current one endorsed by consulate, and valid through 2025) * Does anyone have experience with consulate in China? I'm worried about that they have be more negative towards even dropped DUI cases * Given my situation, any possibility that I may not be required to go through panel test?
