Legal Question in DUI Law in Virginia

failure to appear

I live in South Carolina and petitioned the court in Virginia to reinstate my driving privledges. I was evaluted by ASAP and they recommended the court deny my petition. Do I still need to go back to my court date in VA? What are the consequences if I don't go since I petitioned them?
