Woodlands, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

The question of probation is likely not determinative as the green card renewal process is not regarded as an application for the green card by a nonresident alien. The question is whether the plea bargain that you took would make you removable from the United States, and whether there are any reliefs that you could seek if the government decided to begin proceedings against you. You may wish to make an appointment with an immigration lawyer who is versed in the effects of criminal offenses on immigration status before applying for a renewal of the green card.

Assuming that you are no longer enrolled in school, you are accruing unlawful presence for being present in the US past your allowed time. If your authorized stay is D/S, your unlawful presence will begin up on a finding by and immigration judge or CIS. In any event you do not qualify for any non-immigrant visa or non-family permanent petition. Also, this will hinder you from obtaining any other non-immigrant visa without having a waiver granted.
