90-180 Days (12-IX Visa) If you need to stay longer than 90 days you can apply for a 12-IX visa, which is good for an additional 90 days (for a total of 180), but only once in a calendar year.
Small Claims Court. Each district court in the State of Washington contains a âSmall Claimsâ division for the settlement of civil disputes in which damages claimed total less than $5,000. Small Claims Court was established to provide a low-cost, user-friendly alternative to litigation.
For example, you are owed $5,500, but the law only allows an award of $5,000 in small claims court. You can decide it is worth it to you to sue for only $5,000 rather than have to incur higher court costs or substantial attorney's fees.
