Immigration Law: I got a fine from a criminal case against me. Can I renew my visa?

A penalty of fine will not put you in the process of deportation. However, it can affect your future legal status when it comes to the time of renewal.

Depending on the severity of crime and the amount of fine, the result of visa renewal application may vary. Therefore it is critical to have a good lawyer who knows the link between criminal law and immigration law to defend a foreigner's case.

If you need any legal consultation, please contact me via email.
I am a lawyer with 2 legal licenses. I went to law schools in Korea and CT, US and passed the bars in both jurisdictions. I can explain Korean legal issues in legal terms that you are familiar with.
