Can I travel internationally with a pending traffic ticket (classified as a misdemeanor) in Michigan?

It is probable that you will be able to renew your F-1 visa as your offense is a pending traffic ticket, but kindly note that the DS-160 visa application form asks whether you have ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime. You have not said whether you were arrested, but if not, your offense would not have to be disclosed unless you were directly asked about it during the visa renewal process.
