My father is a permanent resident and was convicted of drug-related crime. He is due for release in July 2014. Is there anything he can do to avoid deportation?
Hello,
To determine if your father can avoid deportation from the U.S., more information is needed about the length of his sentence, the type of drug related crime he committed, his criminal and immigration history, etc.
Since drug convictions can often lead to a person being put into removal proceedings, it is important that you take the details of your father's criminal case and his U.S. legal residency information and consult with a local immigration attorney in your city to see if he is a good candidate for a criminal waiver. Good luck.
