Does having a DUI mean I can’t get my Green Card?
Short answer: A criminal record does not always end a case, but it should be reviewed carefully before filing.
CIS Law Office helps clients review immigration questions with attention to facts, documents, deadlines, and practical risk. A responsible answer should not promise an outcome, because immigration cases depend on evidence, immigration history, government discretion, and sometimes immigration court procedure.
During a consultation, the attorney can review the main question, explain what information is missing, and help organize the next steps. For this topic, it is usually useful to prepare:
- Identify the exact inadmissibility issue.
- Confirm whether there is a qualifying relative.
- Organize medical, financial, emotional, and family hardship evidence.
This information is general and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you have a deadline, appointment, detention issue, denial, interview, or court date, it is better to get guidance before filing forms or making a decision that may affect your case.
