Legal Question in Immigration Law in Pennsylvania
My friend dad pleads guilty to a crime 25 years ago. But he has been a good and moral person throughout his stay in the United States. He received a letter a month ago to appear at a hearing but we never received that letter because we have moved. Can he still be deported? If so what can we do to protect his rights to stay in the United States?

Yes, any person who is being present in USA unlawfully or illegally can be referred to Immigration Court for removal, and can be deported. Even a permanent resident sometimes can be deported.
Whether he has any defenses or can apply for any immigration benefits, is not clear from your post. He should consult a qualified immigration lawyer (not a notario, or a "consultant).

It all depends on exactly what crime he pled guilty to, and his status in the United States right now...I'm not clear if he is actually a permanent resident or is here unlawfully. Please contact us at 215_242_3830 to schedule a free phone consultation.
