A: If you were to be detained, your case would be moved up and heard faster. This is serious stuff. Drug charges are among the most detrimental to an immigration status. If you don't have an immigration attorney assisting in your defense, you need to get one immediately. There are many immigration attorneys around Leesburg and closer to DC, and those attorneys further out can do consults by phone.
