renewing green card after criminal charges
I've been a green card holder since July of 2000, before getting my green card I had several criminal cases. I received continue without a finding for one and probation for the others 91, 95, 96. Recently I was arrested twice for domestic violence 2006 and 2007 but both cases were dismissed. My question is can I renew my green card without facing deportation and is it possible to file for my citizenship.

Thank you advance for any help

I do not think renewing GC will trigger deportation. If they want to deport you they will do even without renewal

Yes, it is possible to file for citizenship. You already dpent more than 5 years on GC

You have 6 criminal cases. You definitely need to contact an attorney.

The OP's concern is about the criminal implications for eligibility, not the years of residence.
