No attorney-client relationship is formed through these questions and answers. Check our website http://www.joshilawfirm.com to contact us and discuss your case in detail.

There is a long list of crimes that may make a person deportable. Following are the most common ones:

an aggravated felony

a crime of moral turpitude within five years of receiving a green card

Fraud crimes

two deportable crimes at any time

a sex or drug crime

This is not a complete list of crimes.

It is important to determine what kind of crime was committed. As the facts stated are not enough to determine whether you will be deportable or not, It is in your best interest to contact an attorney so resolve this issue.
