CASE DETAILS AND NOTES

Employment Authorization Document Application Approved by USCIS

Foreign National client sought the ability to legally work in the United States. An employment authorization document (“EAD”) gives a foreign national person permission to work in the United States. A Greencard Application typically takes between 6-18 months to get approved or denied by USCIS. Therefore, an Employment Authorization Document Application is usually filed concurrently with a Greencard Application because it allows a foreign national person to legally work in the United States while his or her Greencard Application is pending. Mrs. Huff prepared the appropriate Forms and presented sufficient evidence to USCIS and was able to get our client’s Employment Authorization Document Application approved.

CASE DETAILS AND NOTES

ASAP Violation No Jail Time in Virginia Beach, VA

Client was charged with the criminal offense of ASAP Violation in Virginia Beach, VA. If anyone is convicted of a DUI in Virginia, the court will order you to complete the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program ("VASAP" or "ASAP") and the court will also impose a suspended jail sentence that will remain suspended conditioned upon your full and successful completion of ASAP. If you do not complete the ASAP program or if you fail to abide by all of ASAP's terms and conditions, you will receive a new and separate criminal charge called an ASAP Violation. A conviction of an ASAP Violation in Virginia can have consequences such as the revocation (i.e., the un-suspension) of your suspended jail sentence for your DUI conviction. This means that you could be required to actively serve all or a portion of your suspended jail sentence for your DUI conviction. The ASAP officer in this case alleged that our client failed to comply with the terms and conditions of ASAP. Mr. Huff presented mitigating evidence to the judge and was able to avoid an active jail sentence for our client.
