Pelham Crime

a breath test where I blew a .09. They got a .09 on the first reading and on the following reading the machine said air block. So, the officer wrote down the .09 and also that I refused to take the test. In NC, if you refuse to take the breath test, they automatically suspend your license for 1 year (regardless of whether or not you are found innocent in court). I appealed the refusal to take the test with the DMV and my hearing was in April of 2012. I lost this hearing and my license was suspended in NC for 1 year from that date. They let Alabama know and the Alabama DMV told me that I cannot get my Alabama license back until NC reinstates my license. I got pulled over yesterday in Alabama (where I live) and I got a ticket for driving while cancelled. What should I do?

I am looking at the GA House Bill 336 knowing that I have two previous DUI dispositions in 2004 & 2008 in GA. I have an upcoming DUI case late 2013 with which I declined the road side field sobriety examination nor a breathalyzer test. The time between when I shall be in court in 2013 and the date of 2008 DUI's disposition shall be 5 years or more. Does this mean that I could be charged based on the new law GA House Bill 336 as a 1st in 5 and not a 3rd in 10? Also what effect would it be to a permanent resident status if it was a 3rd in 10? Secondly, if it is treated as a 1st in 5 but there are previous two convictions shall this also set alarm for immigration concern?

As for the GA law questions, I can not comment. As for the immigration question, it could be a problem ... you...

NDR as suspended on this day. If I apply for an AL licence (my new state of residence) ASAP, get my paper temp in hand, will the NDR be checked again before my permanent licence is mailed to me or once the paper temp is issued does that pretty much guarantee that I will get my permanent licence in the mail?

More likely than not Alabama will know about the suspension or look. If so, then you will have to clear the suspension...

The DUI was in Georgia and I am applying for a job in Alabama.
