If you’re going through an immigration process, whether it\u2019s a green card, asylum, or adjustment of status, one thing you cannot<\/em> afford to take lightly is having an arrest on your record.

<\/p><\/div>

Too often, immigrants assume that if charges are dropped or it’s a minor offense, it won\u2019t affect their case. That assumption can be fatal to your future in the U.S.

<\/p><\/div>

Even a simple arrest without a conviction can lead to:<\/div>
  • ICE detention or removal proceedings<\/li>
  • Delays or denials of applications<\/li>
  • Ineligibility for certain relief or benefits<\/li>
  • The need for expensive legal defense or waivers

    <\/li><\/ul>

    What many don\u2019t realize is that immigration is not about \u201cinnocent until proven guilty.\u201d USCIS and ICE are not criminal courts. One red flag can cast your entire case in doubt, especially if it happens while your application is pending.

    <\/p><\/div>

    This is why having a legal team who understands both immigration and criminal law is so important.

    <\/p><\/div>

    Bottom line:<\/strong> If you’re in the middle of any immigration process, protect your record. And if you’ve already been arrested, even once, don\u2019t wait. Get legal help now.<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
