Q
What's the best outcome for my immigration status?
A Answer
In order of protection: a finding of no wrongdoing (혐의없음), a police decision not to refer the case (불송치), or an acquittal leaves no conviction at all. Next comes a suspension of indictment, then a fine. A suspended sentence and actual imprisonment carry the greatest immigration risk. Your defense should aim as high on this ladder as the evidence allows.
