Re: green card

You are in a difficult situation. Legally in California you can make the statement that you have never been convicted of a felony since your felony was reduced and then expunged. However the Feds can be a bit more impractical. If you need help with this issue you should consult an immigration or criminal attorney.

If you are in the San Diego area, you can contact my office for a consultation at your earliest convenience.
