QUESTION
Can a person obtain a green card with an old criminal record?
Asked on Jan 19th, 2016 on Immigration - Oregon
More details to this question:
I was wondering if a someone wanting to immigrate here could obtain a green card for an old crime committed 20+ years ago that happened in the US (was here illegally, related to drugs) and then deported. They were told then that they could never obtain a green card to come back but they have been clean and straight since then and they have legal family in the US (does that have any impact?). I was just wondering if they might have a chance?
