Drug offenses are deportable offenses.  There is an exception for convictions involving possession only of small amounts of marijuana.  You shouldn't apply for citizenship until the offense is at least five years old, and even then, you should hire an attorney to engage in a thorough analysis of the issue for you.

A person who is deported from the US is not allowed to return for 10 years. As long as fraud or crime was not involved, that would generally be the only penalty. If the individual later attempts to enter the US on a nonimmigrant visa, the American consular officer would decide in his or her discretion whether to give the visa. Balanced against the unfavorable factor of past disregard for US immigration laws would be the ties and bonds of the individual to the home country and the reason for coming to the States.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.
