unfortunately, even the "dismissals" NEVER [completely] vanish, as they'll still see the arrest on the FBI criminal history report as well as (in most states) the MVR note that accompanied the license suspension. It's always "still out there," especially since it was so recent in your case and even more so since it finally ended up in a conviction.

On another note, it's really bullheaded and ignorant to tell someone that their DUI wasn't possible after two beers. Yea, the authorities hear that all the time. But the BAC reading they take measures alcohol content in the bloodstream by volume. A two-beer DUI IS most definitely possible. You've GOT to consider alcohol content by volume of those two beers, the time lapse between consumption and the breathalizer test, the "offender's" body weight including BMI, metabolic rate, and stomach contents. There are other factors that play a role in the final BAC measurement. So, 320, if you want to use your IPOD BAC application in determining your fitness to drive as you obviously have in denouncing this guy's request for information, by all means... but be sure to have a bail bondsman on hand.

AV8R, i've been there, and I'm sorry for the huge pain in your ass. The regs state that you were to notify the securities division within 60 days after the initial action (arrest) itself, regardless of the conviction. If you don't let them know before they find out, there will be many more problems than finding the kosher way to let them know about it (which is apparently what you're doing). I hear they're really getting to be hardasses about this. I know (from experience) that that lawyer is expensive as hell, but compared to what you spent on all your tickets, maybe he/she's a little more worth the expense? I'd be curious as to what those aviation attorneys will tell you, as well as what effectiveness a NASA form might have with respect to the 60-day reg (hey, it was unintentional!).

best of luck, man. i didn't have any certificate at all when mine went down, AND i was a "minor." but if you need to know anything medical related as well as how the dui will play in, drop me a line.
