About Criminal Immigration or “Crimmigration”
Criminal immigration or “crimmigration” involves the intersection of immigration and criminal law. There are many ways where immigration and criminal law intersect.
If a non-citizen is facing criminal charges, they need an immigration lawyer to explain the potential immigration consequence of any possible plea agreement.
Having a criminal history could impact someone’s ability to seek adjustment of status or seek naturalization.
An individual facing removal due to a criminal history must either show that their criminal history does not render them removable or apply for relief from removal, in order not to be removed.
Many non-citizens plead guilty to crimes without realizing that their conviction can get them deported. Sometimes when this happens, a criminal lawyer can have the plea agreement vacated. Immigration attorneys can work with criminal lawyers to prevent the non-citizens deportation while the criminal lawyer attempts to have the guilty plea vacated.
