CRIMINAL LAW & IMMIGRATION STATUS

If you’re aiming to immigrate from your home country to the United States, it’s important to be aware of the difficulties you might face. The process is not an easy one – in fact, it’s one of the more complicated areas of the law to practice. One of the most important things to remember is that the United States is looking for individuals of “good moral standing” when it comes to granting residency or citizenship. That means that you have to be on your best behavior, both while in the United States and abroad.

It is imperative to have a clean record if you’re aiming to seek entry, residency, or citizenship in the United States. Even more crucial, however, is your ability to maintain a clean record and avoid any sort of criminal activity. This holds true even if you eventually become a resident or hold a green card. Should you engage in criminal activity, both of those statuses could be revoked and/OR, at the very least, threatened if you are arrested or otherwise involved in activities that are against the laws of the country.

It’s important to note that a conviction or criminal record could stand in your way of achieving permanent resident status or, in a worst case scenario, facing deportation. You should also be aware that removal or deportation hearings can be devastating processes with lasting effects that affect the rest of your life. You can’t afford to go through this process on your own. A qualified immigration lawyer can help give you the aggressive and competent representation you need when it comes to immigration courts.
