Re: Misdemeanor and green card

Hello,

If he has been a "green card" holder for more than 5 years and have been living in the U.S. more than 7 years, then a misdemeanor conviction should not be a major problem. However, he may have to fight his case before an Immigration Judge.

Thanks,

Ricardo Vidal, Esq.
