Post Conviction Relief

Many criminal charges have a drastic impact on a non-citizen’s immigration case. Most people who seek post-conviction relief are charged with being either inadmissible or deportable. Several criminal charges also pose a threat of harming a non-citizen’s “Good Moral Character,” which may result in the non-citizen becoming ineligible for citizenship or other immigration benefits. In most cases, the only way to assure that a conviction will not cause immigration harm is to vacate the conviction based on a specific ground of legal invalidity.
