How to Avoid a Criminal Conviction & Deportation
If you are facing the possibility of a criminal conviction and are not a U.S. citizen, you could be facing more penalties that just jail time and fines. You may be instantly deported and denied access back into America for a period of time or permanently. In some cases, if you leave the U.S. you are denied reentry or are allowed to leave but not able to return. Unfortunately, a conviction may extend to affect your family. Your entire family may be deported and any green cards may be cancelled. The list specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act originally only included aggravated felonies. However, this list has now expanded to include crimes that are neither aggravated or felonies. Some examples include drug crimes, sex crimes, theft crimes, violent crimes, child abuse, and domestic violence.
