If someone was convicted of drunk driving or driving while under the influence of alcohol, will the conviction affect her naturalization case?
Possibly. USCIS has not provided guidance on whether a drunk driving conviction (DUI) impacts the “good moral character” requirement, leaving it up to district offices to determine the impact. A survey of case law shows that a single DUI does not statutorily bar an applicant from “good moral character” when the applicant has been candid about the conviction.
