Charged with Endangering Welfare of a child and abuse of a child 2nd degree and convicted of llewdness in 2005. Will this affect my green card renewal

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Even though your negotiated plea was for lewdness, a disorderly persons offense, U.S.C.I.S. may still explore whether the lewdness statute is divisible and the acts covered could include the charges of endangering the welfare of a child and abuse of a child. If so, it may ask for the records of the court including any plea agreement or plea colloquy. The crime of child abuse is a deportable offense. You should seek the advice of an experienced immigration lawyer before deciding to file for citizenship. There is much less likelihood that this will be an issue when you apply for renewal of your green card.

Will my husband be deported for being a felon in possession of a weapon?

Louis M. Piscopo
Answered by attorney Louis M. Piscopo
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Louis M. Piscopo, APLC
You need to contact an immigration attorney who handles removal/deportation cases. If you husband has a ICE Detainer on him he will be but in removal proceedings either while he is in prison or after he is released. LPR do have relief available to removal, but many types of criminal convictions can disqualify them being eligible or receiving the relief. It is very important that you have an attorney review his situation as soon as possible to determine what can be done for your husband. Do no wait until he finishes his sentence. Frequently, defending a LPR from being deported requires changing their criminal plea and it is much harder to do after they complete their sentence.

Can I reapply if my petition of naturalization was denied?

Answered by attorney Hugo Florido (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Florido & Associates, P.A.
Normally when you apply at 3 years from obtaining your residency your marriage must be in good standing in order to receive your citizenship. If you apply at 5 years then your marriage does not come into play. If the USCIS determines you committed Fraud at the last application process you could have issues getting your Nat'l approved.
