Criminal Law & Immigration Status
If you are not a United States citizen living in America, any contact you have with law enforcement may affect your immigration status. Arrests can hurt your chances of getting permanent residence, a work or student visa, or citizenship.
Being found guilty of a criminal crime can have serious consequences.
These can include:
- Deportation
- Citizenship Denied
- Permanent Residence Denied
- You may be held in detention
- You may be unable to return to the United States for a set number of years
- You may be permanently banned from returning to the United States
