Refugee/asylum status is a PRIVILEGE and not a right. As such, you can absolutely compromise your status by engaging in criminal activity in this country. I STRONGLY recommend that you hire a criminal defense attorney with experience in immigration issues to assist you.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.********
