Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

There are millions of people who are in the process of applying for the residence. Remember, over a million people a year are approved for residency, that's a gigantic number of people, but out of that million they also deny thousands and thousands of cases every year.

Migration history

The first main reason you may be denied residency is your immigration history. In order to qualify, the person often needs to have a legal entrya legal stay. Of course, there are exceptions, it all depends on who you are married to.

If you are an immediate family member with a legal entry is sufficient, no matter how long you have been undocumented, but if you are going to be asked for a resident spouse, a sibling, or a parent and you are over 21, then not only will it be a requirement to have entry but legal stay.

Other types of immigration history? They can be: a detention at the border, a deportation, multiple entries and exits, etc. Immigration violations are one of the main reasons why your residency is denied.

2. Criminal Record

Most of the criminal record have a sorrythat pardon is called a "1601". However, there are certain crimes that do not have a pardon, for example: murder, drug trafficking, etc.

The most serious crimes do not have a pardon under the Immigration Laws. If you have any kind of background, it is very important that you consult with your lawyer.

3. If you are a public charge

Another major reason you are denied is because you don't have someone to be financially responsible for you.

Remember that with the President Joe Biden's administrationwe go back to the rules as they were before Donald Trump. That is, it is easier to meet the requirement that you are not a public charge. You can get a relative, friend, or someone close to the family who is a resident, citizen, who earns enough and can be your "sponsor", also known as a "guarantor".
