• Child Support
  When the permanent resident presents their case, they should show remorse for the criminal conduct, and that efforts have been made toward rehabilitation. The immigration judge will consider such equities as payment of federal income taxes and child support, ties to the community such as being involved in charitable organizations, long term residence, evidence surrounding the criminal act and the period of time that has elapsed since the criminal act(s).

Any alien who fails to comply with [these] provisions shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”
• Drug Crimes
  Although drug charges are taken seriously by immigration officials, the law recognizes that in some situations a person should not be deported. The court wants to know what kind of person the permanent resident is. Was this a one-time occurrence, or is it likely that the person will commit more crimes? Where does the person’s family live, and if they are in the US, do they have legal status?
