ive been with my husband (us citizen)since 1991, we had a child in 1993. we got married in 1996. in 1997 i applied for a green card( being that i am an illiegal alien)had second child in sept, 1997,was called in for immigration interview in oct.1997, to my surprise , i was arrested for drug possesion,in which i made bail, and never went back to court,i was 16 at the time. when ins checked my fingerprints , this prior conviction showed up, and i was therefore arrested. i was held for about a month, then was let go on a 5 -year probation, which ended in dec,2002. i want to start my green card process all over again. will this affect my petition? please i need urgent help, will gladly appreciate any information.
thank you
 
I've had some experience in this. Posession isn't as lethal as trafficking. Just keep all your info on this charge. Their shouldn't be much problem. Also depends on the amount you had with you....just my advice.
 
thank you joeF

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK YOUR TIME TO RESPOND TO MY QUESTION. I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE YOUR ADVICE
:)

THANKS AGAIN
 
Also I believe your age at the time, thus being a minor will have a better impact as well.
 
THANK YOU ASGARAY

THAT IS REALLY GOOD TO KNOW, THANX SO MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE, IM GETTING ALL MY DOCUMENTATION ON MY CHARGES AS I TYPE:)
THANK YOU
 
FELONY

I CHECKED ALL MY PAPERS , BUT DID NOT SEE THE WORD FELONY, IN REGARDS TO THE SEVERITY OF THE POSSESION , IT WAS 100 VILES OF CRACK COCAINE ... CPCS 3RD DEGREE
 
That sounds pretty scary....lol...again, I hope the juvenile thing will help you out. Being underage should make a difference.
 
Ya know, I'm trying to help my husband out on this same sort of thing. He unfortunately got caught with marijuanna years ago. He admits it and has paid the price, but it's affecting his status as an immigrant. I'm hoping they'll be able to change this. How many Americans have made the same mistake and came out all-right. They just made bad choices at the age they were at.
 
Doesn't it really tick you off when you've gone ahead and put things behind you....greatfully, only to have them thrown back in your face? It's like a second finger going, "See, see, look, look, look at what "they" did!....As if "we're" perfect.....lol......

:mad: I know exactly what you mean. The only thing we can do right now is get ourselves a good lawyer, and hope for the best.
If things don't go as planned, then we go to plan "B";)
 
True, how true.....Good luck on your end as well. Still think you have that minority thing as a good shield....

I went to an immigration lawyer that my friend recommended on Monday, and thank God, to my surprise, he said that things looked really good. It would take me about a year to get my green card:) .Although, I might have to go to a hearing(for my situation)" but that's a minor setback", he said. I'll keep you posted.
 
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you, your well on your way to a new life....next step citizenship....that is if you want social security....if they still have it by then....lol...I'm glad you went to see the lawyer. Sounds like a good one. all my best to you.
