Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: Legal Permanent Resident (Green card) Criminal act

Please note that if the charges were dropped then then there are no convictions. But you are not a citizen until you are a citizen. You need to be a citizen or else you can be deported for commiting crime of violence or other types of crimes.

You might not be subject to the groun for deportation since there is no conviction. However, you will not be treated absolutely like a US citizen until you obtain the US citizenship.

Dear Inquirer:

A green card holder is an "alien," which means that he could be deported under certain circumstances. Only criminal convictions, however, would be grounds for deportation and not the mere fact of an arrest.

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.
