Many people come into my office and ask, "If I have a criminal conviction and I have a Green Card, am I going to get deported?" The answer really depends. If you were a legal permanent resident, which we call LPRs, and you've been convicted of certain crimes, you can be deported. What's important to remember is that some felonies make you deportable, some felonies don't. Some misdemeanors make you deportable and some misdemeanors don't.

To be eligible for cancellation of removal for a legal permanent resident, you have to show that you entered the United States at least seven years ago, prior to the violation date of the deportable offence. You have to show that you have had a Green Card for at least five years. Lastly, you have to show that your deportation would be a hardship to you or to your family. That last question is really a decision for the judge to make.

If you have been convicted of what we determine to be, or what the immigration statutes determine to be, an aggravated felony, you are not eligible for that. For legal services, visit [ Ссылка ] or call (414) 312-5579
