i have been a permanent resident since 1987. In 1996, I pled to simple possession of 2 grams of cocaine in state court and received time served. I want to apply now for citizenship...do I run the risk of being denied and put in deportation proceedings??
Yes. You need to consult with an experienced immigration attorney if you would like to explore your options.
Yes, you do.
