Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
My boyfriend immigrated her from El Salvador 20 years ago and has had a green card but never pursued citizenship. In 2005-2006, he had some problems with drugs and was convicted of felony drug possesion. He underwent all of the court mandated rehab and has been off probation for some time. His green card has since expired and he is afraid to get it renewed, because his green card may be revoked due to the felony conviction?? Could someone please clarify if this is true and if that law would apply if he were married to a US citizen.

The crime your boyfriend convicted will make him subject to deportation. He should consult with an immigration attorney to see how to avoid possible deportation.

Sometimes, one single conviction for drug possession if it is expunged might not have immigration consequences, however, he has to be careful and bring his certified printout of the criminal case with him for a consultation in the office. He will have to produce that record to renew his residence card as well. call us at 323-549-9385
