過錯記錄對移民申請的影響

對於進行移民申請的人士，如果曾有犯罪記錄，即使是微小的過錯記錄也不能向移民局隱瞞。因為隱瞞這些事實將會導致其I-485身份調整申請被拒以及其它的刑罰。以下為有關信息： Under existing laws, criminal actions can be a basis for inadmissibility or removal from the United States. The potential immigration consequences make it very important for any person that is in the United States on a visa or would like to come to the United States, to stay out of trouble with the law. Even offenses that may appear minor, such as shoplifting, driving drunk and other “minor” offenses can become a very serious matter when a person tries to adjust status to a permanent resident or become a citizen. Now more than ever, USCIS pays closer attention to even minor offenses. The current immigration legislation pending in Congress even includes a provision that prevents those convicted of felonies or three misdemeanors from ever becoming legal permanent residents or U.S. citizens. Although this legislation has not yet been enacted it shows the unforgiving immigration climate, and underscores the importance of being very careful and not committing any criminal offenses, however minor they me seem. Once a person commits an offense, there are ways that an attorney can assist in minimizing the immigration consequences. The most important thing to remember is that once an offense has been committed, and the person was arrested, you cannot try to hide this arrest on any immigration forms such as the I-485 that might ask about any arrests. Concealing the truth on these forms often causes more serious problems for the applicant, than revealing the truth about one’s criminal history. 本文由範毅禹律師事務所提供 本律師事務所精辦各類勞工應聘及專業移民申請 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，勞工卡，綠卡等申請)。所有申請由多位美籍律師及擁有15年經驗的範毅禹律師親自處理，我所並特設中英移民網站。內有最新移民新聞資訊及由律師主持的移民問答集，歡迎讀者流覽查詢。 www.fan-law.com (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
