A criminal conviction or a plea to a criminal charge may have a dramatic impact on your immigration status. If you do not have legal immigration status, some convictions will require you to serve jail time, then face deportation. Criminal convictions may also be cause to reject or modify your immigration status if you are in the country legally.

This chart provides some helpful information on the immigration consequences of specific crimes.

Always consult with a lawyer to see if a criminal conviction will impact your immigration status!
