It does sound as if your wife was charged with a criminal offense.  If that's the case, I think you should find the best lawyer in the area (if it is an impaired driving offense, find a lawyer that specializes in those), pay him/her, and let that lawyer find an interpreter.  If the charge is theft, hire a psychologist for an assessment for post partum depression, with secondary factors of moving to a foreign country, being unemployed, living in relative poverty, etc.  That does have an impact on judges, particularly, I assume, in a more progressive state, such as New York.

She needs to fight to be acquited, if that is possible.  A criminal offense could bar her from citizenship, or at the very least, slow that process considerably.  She would also be barred from entering other countries.  I know as a fact that Canada bars those convicted of impaired driving from entering the country.

No you really don't. You just think you do.

In the link below is a bunch of NY laws including vehicle and traffic. You might review what you need and see if there was a process not followed correctly by the police leading up to the charge. She may be able to get off on a technicality. A person or their attorney needs to cite to the judge the codes/statutes that were violated. A prosecutor may drop the case before it gets to a judge if he/she realizes you're right and going to win.

I got this all cleaned up... I actually expect the state police to file charges against a small town cop over this crap .  We got the local DA to look into everything, they forwarded it to the head of the troop B to investigate and I got Senator Kristian Gillibrand office ready to look into shit also... Their office has a special immigrant rights group...
