18 months into a 2 year DUI supervision. How will it show on background check for emplyment?

If you were convicted, the the DUI will, or at least should, show up on a criminal background check. Who told you that successfully completing probation will result in the charge not showing as a suspension? If the court has told you this, are you participating in some type of diversion program? Did you have an attorney representing you prior to the supervision? If so, check back with that attorney to see if an actual conviction resulted from any plea that you may have entered. Some jurisdictions offer a "diversion" program where the conviction is held in abeyance and upon successful completion of a program and some term of supervision, the charge is dismissed. Without knowing much more about the specifics of your court and the facts of your case, it's hard to say for certain that it will, or will not, show on a criminal background check. Also, if there was any type of license suspension issued, that will likely show up on your State BMV records, which could also trigger questions from a prospective employer.

You have not been convicted of a DUI and you can state that on any job application. You lawyer did a good job getting the suspension rescinded. A background check may show an am arrest, but the disposition is important thing, and you were not convicted, nor even suspended. Disregard out of state lawyers offering advise as supervision is unique to Illinois and they have no clue. Good luck! Eric Perry (847) 465-0007 www.perrylegalservices.com
