Immigration lawyer at Hernandez & Suarez, PL
Your husband may have a chance if he can vacate the sentence on the drug charges in criminal court. This needs be done quickly as the immigration case will not wait. For immigration purposes, any charge of drugs more than "possession under 20 grams" has no waiver. Meaning, under immigration laws he would have no chance. His best bet is to try to fix his record through the criminal court. It is recommended you hire an experienced attorney to handle this matter. This is not a simple case and may have other complications. The above is only general information and shall not be construed as legal advice. It is always recommend you consult with an attorney to review all the details of your case.

Green card

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Most individuals who do not have family in the country obtain green cards through the employment based categories. There are categories for extraordinary aliens, outstanding professors and researchers, multinational executives and managers, those who are exceptional or with advanced degrees whose immigration is in the national interest, and those with advanced degrees, bachelors degrees, or two years working experience who are sponsored by organizations under the labor certification (PERM) process. Some other individuals immigrate through investment which requires $1 million investment in a commercial enterprise and the hiring of 10 US workers or $500,000 if you are an area of high unemployment or outside a municipal area.  You would still have to hire 10 US workers in the latter case although if going through a regional investment center, the center would be responsible for the hiring. Still others may immigrate through the gain of political asylum or refugee status. You should consult with a knowledgeable immigration attorney to go over feasible options.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
