Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: immigration

This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.

Probably no, but don't take this as gospel. If he were convicted as an adult, it might be different. Advising on criminal immigration issues is difficult to just do off the cuff online.

Re: immigration

Dear Inquirer:

Juvenile convictions generally do not affect one's immigration status, such that he should not be found removable if these misdemeanor convictions occurred before he reached age 18. Nonetheless, you want to be 100% clear as to what convictions your husband has suffered and what consequences these convictions will bear on his status before he files to renew his green card.

Please email us at [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Re: immigration

Good Afternoon:

If your husband is a permanent resident, then he does not have the same protections under the law that a citizen has. As a result, there may be immigration consequences, where he has more than 1 misdemeanor. However, if the crimes become an issue, they will give your husband a chance to appear in court to explain his case; they won't immediately deport him.

I would need to know more facts, including the dates and types of misdemeanors.

If you would like to discuss this further in confidence, please email me directly at [email protected].
