On my return from vacation from Bangladeshi my Passport & GC was kept by the immigration officer at JFK airport. The reason being that i had 2 misdemeanors for domestic violence. I was informed that i need to appear in front of an immigration judge on November 2008 at JFK terminal 8. I need to bring with me a disposition letter from the court. I am confident that i would be able to get the disposition letter from the court as i had previously done when i applied for citizenship. what scares me the most is that would they still deport me once i gave them the disposition letter from the court. I have always been on top of my child support never late. Do you think i should take a lawyer. The immigration officer at JFK gave me a temporary document as proof of permanent residence and work authorization. In the form it also states that i need to bring the disposition letter to the immigration judge and nothing else. Any help and encouragement would be really appreciated.

Passport & GC kept at JFK by USCIS Officer

I'll almost bet you that the judge will wonder why the officer is wasting the courts time. If you have the disposition letter then there is no reason to over rule it. If he does then he is now crossing the line between applying the law and being above it.
In the future, you better carry the letter with you and everything else that you have.

Waste of time? Depending on the way the law is written in certain States, a person convicted of a single DV charge is deportable, if the crime happened within 5-years of admission, and it was possible to have received 1 year in jail. 2 convictions or after 5 years knocks the required sentence down even further. This person appears to have committed 2 CIMT's, and is deportable under section 237 of the INA. He is screwed... CIS will over look convictions because they are too lazy to do the paperwork, CBP or ICE/DRO are not.
You need to re-read his post. He sounds like he has two convictions.

CIS is sometimes too lazy to issue a I-862 Notice to Appear to a GC holder, they will wait for ICE or CBP to do the dirty work. Any prior disposition letter you submitted to CIS will be in your immigration file. If you were convicted, I would start to worry...
