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