Aggressive Defense from a New York City Immigration Lawyer
The team understands that being accused of a crime is a frightening and confusing situation. In order to ensure that the best resolution is reached regarding your case, allow a legal representative to handle your case. According to the 1988 immigration and Nationality Act, there are certain crimes which are deemed worse than others.
Known as aggravated felonies, these crimes include:
The consequences of these crimes are more than just time behind bars or fines. The effect of a conviction on your immigration status can be life-altering. First of all, you may face immediate deportation and not be allowed to return to the U.S. for a period of time. In very serious cases, the judge could decide that you are never allowed to return into the country. Another outcome of a conviction could result in not being allowed to leave the U.S. to travel or visit your home country. Even if you were already given a green card or immigrant status, these may be cancelled.
