How does a criminal record affect your immigration case?

Greetings Jorge Rivera immigration attorney.
And the answer is that it depends on what kind of criminal record you have.

The good news is that the vast majority of our people if they have a criminal record it is something minor what immigration and criminal authorities call a "misdemeanor" which could be a robbery, it could be some traffic violation, it could be simple possession of marijuana of less than 30 grams, domestic violence, fraud.
All of this is forgiven, forgiveness is called the "I601" OK?

But obviously if you have committed a more serious crime such as murder, rape, drug trafficking are things that don't have a pardon but there are alternatives; you can clear your case with something called a "pardon".Bk Order". This allows you to remove the conviction from your case and proceed with your application without having to consider or ask for a pardon or be disqualified for a more serious criminal record.

So if you are an immigrant, you want to resolve with immigration, you have a criminal record, there are solutions, there are alternatives, there are strategies and we can help you.
