Can someone with a criminal record get a green card?

People with criminal records cannot apply for a green card. Those who have already applied for a green card will be cancelled. Attach a related news:

With a criminal record, South China returned to the United States and its permanent green card was confiscated.

Overseas Chinese reporter Li Hong reported in new york on June 16: Mr. Wang, a China citizen with a permanent green card of 10, recently returned to the United States from China. When he entered the customs at JFK airport, immigration officials found that he had stolen something from a supermarket twice, and his permanent green card was confiscated on the spot. Now he is waiting for the immigration court. It is uncertain whether Wang Can will keep a permanent green card.

Wang Lijun's lawyers all said that Wang Lijun was discovered by immigration officials when he entered the country. In 2000 and 2004, immigration officials confiscated his permanent green card status, stamped his passport with a temporary green card and told Mr. Wang to wait for the notice from the immigration court.

According to the accusation materials of the Immigration Bureau and the court notice, Mr. Wang was accused of violating the relevant provisions of the US Citizenship and Immigration Act on moral violations. Quan explained that the so-called violation of morality means that the client was arrested by the police and the charges against him involved moral issues. Common crimes include theft, drug trafficking, prostitution and other obscene things.

Quan Lihong said that Mr. Wang may lose his green card status because of this. He explained that the so-called "permanent resident" is translated from the "legal permanent resident" in the immigration law, but the "permanent" here does not mean that the green card status cannot be cancelled or changed. At present, customs enforcement is becoming more and more strict. As long as the criminal record is found out through the fingerprint of the person concerned, which involves moral violations, the immigration bureau has reason to cancel the permanent green card of the person concerned.

In order to avoid this kind of incident, all in all, first of all, you should have a certain moral standard, and don't suffer a big loss because of greed. Because, once you have a criminal record, immigration can always be used as evidence to cancel your green card.

Secondly, Nozhen has a criminal record and plans to go abroad in the future. Remember to ask the court for the closing form when closing the case and take it with you when you leave the country. You only need 10 yuan to get the closing form, but if the immigration officer finds out the criminal record when you enter the country and the closing form has the verdict of the case, as long as you are not sentenced to one year and one day in prison, the green card will not be cancelled. If there is no closing form, the immigration officer will not know the progress of the case, let alone the verdict, and this will happen to Mr. Wang.

Quan said that most immigrants to the United States hope to get a green card as soon as possible, settle down and realize the American dream. Therefore, he suggested that green card holders should try their best to test citizens and find another way to protect themselves. If you get a green card by marrying a citizen, you can apply for citizenship within two years and nine months, and other green card holders can apply within four years and nine months. If all goes well, you can usually be sworn in as an American citizen in four to six months.
