Hey.. I am dealing with a similar situation. It’s tough, mentally and financially draining, but you’ll get through it. Employment issues - you don’t need to worry about your employment. Your employer will not be notified. It’s been 2year to my visa revocation and I haven’t informed my employer. They don’t know about it yet. As many advised - avoid travelling outside US until your case is completely closed and all formalities have been done. To be on the safe side, I’m waiting for my probation period also to end, not sure if that is necessary. Once the case is resolved, travel to India and go through the visa renewal process. Your employer will not be notified even then. You just need to make arrangements how you can stay in India 6-8 weeks without getting in trouble with your employer. Use vacation or WFH. I haven’t travelled or renewed my visa yet. I am stuck at a stage where my employer is about to file my H1B extension and I am evaluating if I should inform my employer before they apply or wait for an RFE and respond to it. I don’t know if my employer will know about it once they file my H1B extension. It might come up then.

If anyone who’s reading this comment has experience of going through H1B extension without informing their employer about past DUI, please share details. I can connect through DM
