Can you lose your green card if you commit a felony?
can you lose your green card if you commit a felony?
Answers:
It really depends on the felony.
However, instead of losing green card, USCIS has the right not to approve your naturalization application.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act any immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony is deportable. An aggravated felony included any felony punishable under the Controlled Substances Act.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court decided on December 5, 2006, that immigration courts cannot deport aliens convicted of minor state drug offenses that are not felony under federal law.
So.. yes if the felony is defined under Federal directive an immigrant can be deported.
yes you can. It can result in revocation of your green card and deportation
Yes, and you can be deported. The deportation can take place after serving any sentence imposed, or in some cases, instead of serving a prison sentence on lower felonies.
