Reasons You May Need a Criminal Immigration Attorney

Most people who seek the help of a criminal immigration attorney have criminal convictions or are facing criminal charges. You should make sure your immigration attorney offers criminal immigration attorney services if you are in any of the following situations:

  • You are facing deportation proceedings with a criminal history or new criminal charges.
  • You are a lawful permanent resident and are facing new charges.

  • You are in the United States with a nonimmigrant status or a temporary visa and facing new charges.
  • You have been charged or convicted of crimes and seek citizenship.
  • You are interested in getting a green card and you have recent charges or a criminal history.

A Criminal Immigration Attorney Can Help You Get a Green Card

When petitioning for an immigrant visa or applying for a green card, the criminal history of the foreign national is taken into consideration.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires all documentation about the criminal histories of foreign nationals before they will issue an immigrant visa, immigration status, or green card to any foreign national. That means that they want to see a record of any involvement with law enforcement anywhere —not just in the United States — before making a decision.

Still, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does provide a way for an experienced immigration attorney to help people gain immigration benefits, including green cards, for foreign nationals with a criminal history.

 We know that the process of getting a green card is stressful enough, even more-so with a criminal record. But don’t give up hope if you haven’t consulted an experienced criminal immigration attorney about your situation. Asma Din from the Din Law Group has an incredible record for helping people achieve their immigration dreams, even those with a criminal history.

Keep in mind, you can’t lie to USCIS on any petition or application, and you shouldn’t lie to your criminal immigration attorney either. We’re here to help you. If you lie or give false statements for any reason on an immigration-related form, you could risk your chances of ever becoming eligible for a green card.

The reason your criminal immigration attorney asks you these questions and requests documentation of your criminal history is because we may be able to help you get a waiver.

Waiver of Inadmissibility

A waiver of inadmissibility can help people gain immigration benefits for many grounds of inadmissibility— including criminal grounds. There are certain crimes that don’t qualify for a waiver and those include:

  • Violent felonies including aggravated assault, murder, and torture
  • Drug crimes like trafficking – with the exception of some minor marijuana charges
  • Sexual abuse
  • Tax evasion
  • Violating certain freedoms of others as a government official of another nation

Ways Your Criminal Immigration Attorney May Handle a Foreign Conviction

An experienced criminal immigration attorney may be able to show the USCIS officials deciding your case that your foreign conviction isn’t relevant to U.S. law.

For example, some countries’ laws are seen as abhorrent human rights violations in the U.S. If you were prosecuted for standing up for the oppression of another person, the U.S. would not necessarily see that as an inadmissible conviction.

Similarly, if you were convicted of a crime based on your religious or political beliefs—which is true for many asylees in our country — that might not be a concern for the United States. Also, some crimes in other countries translate as lesser crimes in the United States that wouldn’t make you inadmissible here.

Even if USCIS denies your petition, if you are already in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa or special status, a skilled immigration lawyer may be able to appeal the immigration decision or file a motion to reopen your immigration case.
