When you or a loved one are at risk of deportation, it is essential that you speak with an experienced immigration attorney<\/strong>. In these cases, talking with a knowledgeable immigration attorney<\/strong> can mean the difference between being deported and staying with your family in the United States. 
 
Once the arrested non-citizen is in criminal custody, he\/she may be subject to the immigration hold and will be transferred to the immigration detention center for processing once his\/her time in county jail\/state prison expires. 
 
Deportable Crimes<\/strong>
 
If you are a legal immigrant, getting convicted of certain criminal offenses may cause you to be deported from the United States. Legal immigrants who have been allowed into the country include:
 
– Legal Permanent Residents (green card holders)
– Visa-Holders (student visas, work visa, U-visa, etc)
– Asylee and Refugees
 
Only some criminal convictions can get a legal alien deported from the United States. You may be in jeopardy of losing your status If your conviction involved any of the following offenses:
 
– Aggravated felonies
– Drug crimes
– Firearm crimes
– Domestic violence
– Crimes of moral turpitude
– And other crimes
 
Deportable Offenses Include:
<\/strong>– Prostitution
– Perjury
– Rape and sexual abuse
– Some fraud and theft crimes
– Kidnapping
– And more
 
If you are convicted of a deportable offense, you should contact an aggressive immigration attorney<\/strong> who understands both criminal and immigration law.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
