You should ask your attorney to make the request for you before the date. It can be extended but it is very important that it not be missed or the application will be treated as abandoned.        

To answer your question, I would need further details, such as, when was the last time you traveled. In recent times things have changed greatly. I have had client who have traveled for years until one day that they have been detained. Petit Larceny is usually considered a crime involving moral turpitude and thus affects your residency. However, the statute from the state you were convicted needs to be reviewed to see if it does affect you or not. Were you convicted or were you part of a program that when you completed conditions, there charges were nolle prose? Again, generally this charge would affect you but you MAY qualify for a waiver with immigration.

There is always a possibility that he will get deported. If he is detained by ICE, you can hire an attorney to obtain a bond to get him out. You should consult with an immigration attorney to give you more specific advice. Good luck.
