Effect of Conviction on Your Immigration Status

If You Are Convicted of a Crime, You Could Be Deported

The United States government is serious when it comes to excluding and deporting immigrants who have committed a crime. U.S. policy does not take into account whether it tears your family apart.

If you trying to immigrate or obtain asylum, a criminal conviction could make you ineligible to enter to the U.S. If you have a green card, you can lose your permanent residency and be deported. If you are seeking American citizenship, a criminal conviction can make you ineligible.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, it is essential to know what the effect of a conviction on your or your loved one's immigration status will be. It is essential to hire a criminal defense lawyer who understands immigration law so you can minimize the impact of a criminal conviction on your life.
