Sunnyvale, CA Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Your email is unclear as to what is your immigration status. If you are a US permanent resident, you do not need to apply for anything. If not, and if your 21 old son is a US citizen, I would suggest for him to apply for green card for you.

It depends on the type of charge. Something like possession of a gun or domestic violence (for example) could render you deportable. A conviction such as driving with no driver license would probably not hurt you very much. Another issue: It also depends on whether this is your first ever crime or whether there was some others before.

You can likely file the I-485 application during the time that you are on probation for DUI. Immigration officers are allowed to adjudicate I-485 applications for persons on probation although they will generally insist upon seeing the probation report before deciding whether to grant the adjustment of status or not.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
