Immigrating With A Criminal Record: What To Know

If you have a prior conviction on your record, you will face additional scrutiny during the immigration process. With the exception of minor traffic offenses, you must mention any arrests, charges or convictions you received. Do not omit anything, even if you fear that it could hurt your chances.

The following convictions make you ineligible for a green card:

• Aggravated felonies
• Crimes of moral turpitude (involving depravity or immorality)
• Drug offenses

Even if you have one of these crimes in your past, you could still petition for a waiver of admissibility, which allows some convicts to obtain permanent residency.

Don’t Give Up Hope – Get Help

To give yourself the strongest chance of getting a green card, you should have Ms. Momin and her dedicated team assisting you with your application and interview. Having helped thousands of people in your position, she knows exactly which convictions will pass, which ones have the highest rate of approval and whether you could receive a waiver of admissibility. She will strive to show U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that you have the good moral character necessary to immigrate permanently to the U.S.
