Re: Getting married

Your question is not clear. Unless you are an attorney yourself, it is highly advisable that you NOT handle this matter yourself. It is very possible that you will NOT even be eligible for permanent residence again. Only an immigration expert experienced in this matter could advise. Factors such as the exact type of crime, the times served, what papers you signed, did you ever leave, etc. all play into the equation. Email or phone for further information. Good luck!
