Hi. It seems as if you're applying for a renewal of your green card. In these cases USCIS must give you the renewal. It is a ministerial duty. However, if they learn of criminal issues of which they did not have previous knowledge, removal proceedings can be instituted. I'm confronted with this issue routinely and advise all who ask to have a crimmigration lawyer review your history (immigration, criminal, family) to ascertain the consequences of the criminal conduct and potential outcomes. This gives you the opportunity to proceed with some level of clarity and you have a lawyer who understands your case ready to go if an issue does in fact arise. Feel free to give us a call.
