Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: Felons legal status after DWI

This all depends whether the alien has already have a green card or just applying for on; whether he completed 5 years probation and the exact charges and pleas he entered.

This might be a very complicated matter and you should seek professional help.

Re: Felons legal status after DWI

When you renew your green card, you have to be fingerprinted and USICS will find out about your conviction. Instead of renewed green card, you might get into the removal proceedings before an immigration judge. Chances to win the green card back are case and facts sensitive and might differ. An attorney has to know more facts in order to answer your question. You might be eligible for cancellation of removal for certain lawful permanent residents. Be aware that travel outside of the U.S. and return might trigger the removal proceedings and sometimes mandatory detention.
