Yes, these are serious matters: both the DUI arrest and/or conviction, and giving a fake name to authorities. You need to consult lawyers in regard to her DUI charges (criminal lawyer) and immigration case (immigration lawyer).

When she applies for a visa, she will be fingerprinted. She is required to disclose all arrests even those not resulted in conviction.
