Q: I am in need of advice, my boyfriend is a permanent resident. His permanent residency is set to expire in 3 months
However he has a third degree sex offense, what would you recommend he do? He wants to fix this, but we are now both scared since he has a good job and we will be having a baby soon. I don't want him deported or losing his job, in april he has to present his green card to renew his job. With this i am afraid he won't be able to renew it. That they will deny it. Please help up with some legal advice. He came into the country when he was a baby with his family and became a permanent resident thanks to them. This year he was going to apply for citizenship since he qualified but now this happened. The accusation was not long ago probably last year. Thank you for any help. I would be glad to get in contact with a good lawyer to help us.
A:
How did he obtain his permanent residency? And was he convicted before or after receiving the green card? without knowing these vital information it is not possible to answer or help you. Many attorneys including me offer free consultations, so make use of them. All the best.

A:
Sex offenses are very serious and yes a third degree sex offense may very well affect your boyfriend's immigration status. You should consult with an immigration attorney as soon as you possibly can to get this procedure started. Since he only has three months left with his green card i suggest you start today. All the best.
