Before the commission of the first crime, if you were a person who was lawfully admitted for permanent residence for not less than five years, and had resided in the United States continuously for seven years after having been admitted in any status, you would likely be eligible for cancellation of removal for permanent residents. On the other hand, if you were not in those circumstances, you would have a much more difficult path to keep your permanent residence if placed under removal proceedings. You would likely have to have the Xanax pill conviction overturned. With the arrest for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, you would not be deportable on the charge if it related to 30 g of marijuana or less. If not, you would have to have avoid conviction on the charge if the case is still going on. If already convicted, you would have to have the conviction overturned.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
