A: First, you seem terribly mistaken. A person who is deportable can also be disqualified from naturalization and placed in removal proceedings as a result of filing. This, even if five years pass after the offense.

As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications. Good luck.

The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.

A: There are waivers available for certain criminal offenses, but you have not provided sufficient information in order to give you any advice as to whether you would qualify for any such waiver. I suggest that you speak with an experienced immigration attorney who can review all of the relevant information. Best of luck!
