With a very few exceptions, nearly all the states report a DUI conviction to all states in which you were ever licensed. Most DUI laws count as prior convictions those which occurred in a different place, unless that place has very different laws from those in most American states. Talk to a good criminal lawyer. There are sometimes things which can be done to overcome the citation, or to get a more lenient outcome.

This will be considered your 2nd DUI. You need to hire a DUI attorney to represent you in the state in which the DUI occurred.

Depends if the court and/or the DMV finds out. Either way you need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.
