Yes, criminal charges could have negative effects on immigration status; they might, for instance, cause inadmissibility, deportation, or denial of the naturalization application. Depending on the particular charges connected to the crimes a noncitizen committed, that individual might be denied a green card or denied a visa or be qualified for removal from the United States. Among the most severe crimes within aggravated felonies are drug trafficking, murder, or fraud under which the value involved merely has to be over $10,000; these serious offenses lead to removal barring all judicial review pursuant to INA § 101(a)(43). Crimes involving moral turpitude—like theft, fraud, and violent crimes—can also cause removal. Furthermore, domestic violence, child abuse, and a majority of drug related crimes increases a person’s chance for deportation, as a criminal conviction makes it more difficult to demonstrate good moral character, a necessary requiremet to become a U.S. citizen. To deter deportation, some apply for a waiver of inadmissibility under INA § 212(h) or post-conviction relief, such as vacating a conviction.
