Hello everyone,

I could not find enough information about this online, and I need help badly. I was arrested for a DUI this August (2013). I have not been charged with anything yet but I probably will be. How will this effect my student visa that I'm applying for? Will my DUI also prevent me from applying for a carte de sejour later on? I plan to be here in France long term, hoping to immigrate eventually.

As far as I know, they don't ask for a police report for those applying for a student visa. The first time that a home country police report comes into the question is when you apply to take French nationality - and it sounds like that is several years away for you at this point.
Cheers,
Bev
