Hello.
A conviction for domestic violence can be considered a crime of violence and therefore make a noncitizen removable from the United States.
If you only have an injuction or temporary protective order pending without a conviction then as a lawful permanent resident you would not be subject to removal.
Have your criminal attorney do the best s/he can to ensure you don't receive a conviction that rises to a crime of violence.
For additional information specifically pertaining to your case please contact me for a free consultation.
