Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

Re: can I get a pardon and have green card,even temporal

Hello,

Based on the fact pattern in this question, it would be wise for anyone in these types of criminal/immigration cases to 1) see an attorney who has some experience in determining how criminal convictions affect one's immigration status, including possibly long or (at least until recently) indefinite detentions not uncommon for Cuban aliens; 2) that attorney should research whether or not it would be possible to vacate the underlying criminal conviction (of course, this action may subject such a prospective client to reprosecution)constituting the basis for deportability/removability; 3) that attorney should explore whether any immigration waivers may be applicable; 4) that attorney should research whether leaving and then reentering the USA, after the issuance of a deportation/removal order, constitutes a crime; 5) counsel will have to find out if it is possible to even reopen the deportation/removal proceedings; 6) that person should determine if old, transitional, or permanent immigration rules appy; and 7) he/she, and the prospective client, should weigh the pros and cons of the foregoing possibilities vs. continuing with only parole (it sounds as if that is what exists in this hypo) and renewals of employment of authorization/drivers license(s). After all, sometimes nothing is the best course of action.

These types of cases are extremely complex. Plenty of other considerations must be studied as well. You should seek competent legal counsel. In the meantime, keep confidentiality factors in mind.

The foregoing comments are only general in nature; do not constitute legal advise or representation; and assume no relevant law enforcement investigation is ongoing.
