A: Yes you are absolutely at risk and you should get a criminal defense attorney for the criminal case and an immigration lawyer for the immigration consequences to guide the criminal lawyer on how to structure the deal better to potentially avoid immigration consequences in criminal court.
A: It depends. You say you are not a resident, but you also say you have a green card. People who possess green cards are residents. You also say you have been charged; that’s very different from being convicted. As a sixteen-year-old, you could be tried as a juvenile. Finally, you don’t say what you were charged with. All of this has some bearing on your case. You would be well advised to consult with an immigration attorney given the many variables.
