QUESTION
Can I lose my green card for having a misdemeanor class 2 in 1995?
Asked on Dec 17th, 2012 on Immigration - Virginia
More details to this question:
Us customs took my green card as I was coming back from vacation. I had a legal problem in 1995. I was given 45 days in jail. Ever since I renewed my green card two times with nothing ever coming up, so why did they take my card now?
2 ANSWERS
The incident from 1995 needs to be analyzed to determine if:
1) It creates any inadmissibility problems;
2) It creates any removability problems.
It is odd to renew your green card and suddenly have this issue arise when reentering the U.S.
The incident from '95 needs to be reviewed, as well as what happened when your green card was taken away. It may have been an error by CBP that needs to be rectified.
You should contact an attorney with experience with border issues and dealing with CBP on these issues.
