Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia
DUI in another state
I live in Virginia but I received a DUI in West Virginia. Recently I was stopped for a traffic check and found out that my license in Virginia is suspended. Does Virginia suspend your license if you receive a DUI in another state?

Yes, indeed, the Commonwealth does reciprocally suspend the privilege of one to drive of one
who has been suspended in another state after the charging and conviction information has been transmitted to the Commonwealth.
Re: DUI in another state
If you are licensed by Virginia, it is possible for the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles to institute a reciprocal suspension if you were suspended in another state. However, you may be eligable for restricted driving privileges, and if you were cited for driving on a suspended license, you may have a legal defense if you were not notified by the virginia DMV of the suspension.
