Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Is immigration offense review different from criminal punishment?
A.Yes. Criminal punishment is handled by the prosecution and courts, while immigration offense review is conducted separately by the Immigration Office. Even if you received a not-guilty verdict or suspended indictment, an immigration review may still proceed.
Q.If I receive a departure order, must I leave immediately?
A.You can appeal a departure order, and in some cases you may receive permission to stay if certain conditions are met. Timely response is critical.
Q.Can I write the written explanation myself?
A.Yes, but it requires clear fact organization and understanding of the legal context. Having an administrative scrivener assist typically leads to a more thorough submission.
Q.Can I consult if I don't speak Korean?
A.Yes. Consultations are available in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese.
Q.Can a foreign national keep their visa status after a DUI?
A.It depends on whether it's a first offense, the BAC level, attitude, length of stay, and other factors. We review the possibilities during consultation.
Q.Is remote consultation available?
