Q. I got 2nd traffic ticket for a move over law in GA and planning to take Nolo plea. Does this affect my H1-B application?
A: Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. This question is outside of our firm's scope of practice, we don't have any familiarity with immigration law. You will need to reach out to an immigration attorney for information on how these tickets would impact your Visa/status.

Thank you again.

Q. I got a $256 ticket for failure to obey GA Code 40.6.20. Should this fee be lower?
A: Good morning,

Thank you for reaching out.

The fines are determined by the specific court. The only way you may be able to request a lower fine would be to appear in court in person and ask the judge. The judge may or may not be amenable to your request.
