Legal Question in Immigration Law in Idaho

My wife is in the USA on a 10 year visa right now, she was arrested and charged with a felony burglary today in Idaho. Will she face deportation if convicted? And what is the likely sentence for her with no priors? We have been married for 5 years and we have a 3 year old daughter together. Both me and our daughter are US citizens.

Hello:

It is very likely she will be placed into deportation proceedings.

Removal/Deportation Representation

It is critically important that you get qualified and expert representation for the deportation/removal hearings. The Government will try to get the deportation issued. Neither the Immigration Judge, nor the Trial Attorney are there to help you. There are different forms of relief available which could result the granting of Lawful Permanent Residence. However, this requires large applications to be prepared and the necessity to prepare for trial. My firm has done this for several years, and if done properly, there is a very reasonable chance that it will be successful. If not done properly, the deportation order will be issued and your current way of living in the United States will end and you will either be on the run or be forcibly removed from the United States.�
