Case Highlights
A selection of immigration offense review cases we have supported, reorganized by type. All cases have been anonymized and recomposed to protect privacy; outcomes vary by case.
Client A, a registered foreign resident, was stopped for driving over the legal blood alcohol limit and was both criminally charged and notified of an immigration offense review.
Whether this was a first offense, the measured BAC level, and subsequent remorse would shape the disposition, with timely submission of supporting materials being critical.
We compiled mitigating documents (proof of employment, letter of apology) into a written explanation and supported submission to the Immigration Office within the deadline.
The review proceeded and a disposition was issued after the materials were submitted. Outcomes vary by individual history and circumstances.
Client B was criminally charged in an assault-related case and sought consultation out of concern for their visa status.
Since the criminal outcome (suspended prosecution, summary indictment, etc.) had not yet been finalized, timing the immigration review response was the key question.
We organized the stay history and case background, preparing the necessary materials in step with the criminal proceedings.
Once the criminal disposition was finalized, the related procedure proceeded, supported by the materials prepared in advance.
Client C was found working outside the scope permitted by their visa status and was notified of a possible departure order.
The primary task was establishing the facts — the nature and duration of the work, and whether the violation was knowing.
We documented the employment circumstances accurately and prepared case-appropriate supporting materials for submission.
A disposition was issued following the procedure. Outcomes for employment violations vary significantly by case, requiring individual consultation.
Client D had remained in Korea past their visa expiry and sought consultation on voluntary departure and re-entry restrictions.
The key issues were the re-entry restriction period based on overstay duration and whether the voluntary departure reporting requirements were met.
We reviewed the stay history and overstay period, and guided the client through the voluntary departure procedure and required documents.
The reporting and follow-up procedure proceeded according to the guidance provided.
