Foxton, CO Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

It will depend on exactly what charge or penal code violation you pled to and what you were advised by your attorney, and/or the court, regarding the immigration consequences of your plea. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.

This is a textbook case where an I-601 waiver will be required to overcome inadmissibility based on concealed intent. It’s Immigration Law 101 when preparing clients for a marriage-based green card interview. Let this be a lesson to you, your wife, and anyone reading this: had you retained counsel from the start, you likely wouldn’t be in this situation. Now, you’ll probably need to file the I-601 waiver, and she will be required to leave the U.S. and attend her interview at the U.S. consulate.     

Your husband's criminal record sounds minor, but could be an issue for his immigration status. An attorney should look at all of his criminal records to understand if your husband is inadmissible and whether he will need a waiver. You should schedule a consultation with an immigration attorney and take all of your husband's records with you to the consultation so that you can understand the effect they will have on his immigration process.
