A: Possibly, you might be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa, but more information is needed. Before you invest any money in trying to start the process on your own you will want an immigration attorney to review your complete criminal and immigration record to determine whether that prior conviction and your prior immigration history makes you inadmissible and your eligibility for a waiver, should one be required.
