I have a possesion of marijuana with intent to distribute over 30g 3rd degree felony conviction in FL. pleaded no contest, adjudication withheld, first offense, 9yrs ago. No trouble since then, i have been married for 18yrs, 2 kids, entered the country legaly 20yrs ago. Had a work permit and valid ss# but never went past that point. I need to get my permanent status (green card) but i keep getting turned down by lawers. Is there any hope, should i just leave?
