Crimmigration

If you’re a noncitizen, criminal convictions and immigration court often go hand in hand. An arrest can seriously impact your immigration application, and if the charges are serious enough, you may find yourself ineligible for a visa – or even deported from the United States.

Even if the crime was relatively minor, your arrest may end up alerting ICE. But that doesn’t mean you’ll get deported immediately. It’s up to immigration authorities to determine whether to take action after your arrest. Once they decide to follow up on your arrest, ICE may request that you are kept in detention, and they may also start deportation proceedings against you.

You’ll have to go through an immigration court before you learn whether you’ll be allowed to remain in the United States. In the meantime, your arrest may negatively affect your pending visa application and bar you from certain immigration benefits in the future.

This is a difficult situation, especially since your future in the US depends on how your criminal proceedings unfold. Deportation is serious, but even if you’re faced with detention, you still have rights. Your crimmigration support lawyer can help you exercise those rights, and protect your future in the United States.

Your immigration lawyer can help you protect yourself in immigration court, and argue for a change of status if you’re concerned you may be deported. Criminal and immigration law overlap, so the right attorney can also help you deal with any criminal charges that may affect your pending visa application. And while there are serious deportation risks from criminal convictions, your legal team can help you map out a strategy for anything the immigration court tries to throw your way.
