I came to the US 5/00. In 2003 1st offence was misdeamenor. 2005 2nd offense CC FRAUD of $5000 got arrested and bail. After court, 3yrs probation and a felony record. Now my GC is up for renewal and I'm worried about getting sent home. I'm out of work and cannot get one because of having to background checks. I'm from jamaica and I would hate to have to go back home.
Pleae your advice is welcome.
 
An employer has been informed that:

If an employee presents an expired Permanent Resident Card along with a Form I-797, Notice of Action, that indicates that the card is valid for an additional year, this combination is acceptable List C evidence of employment authorization for one year as indicated on Form I-797. At the end of the one-year period, you must reverify.

Without know:

1. the exact state or federal statute of conviction it cannot be determined if you are deporatble.

2. fraud is a CIMT (Crime Involving Moral Turpitude) however, without knowing the exact statute of conviction it cannot be determined if it meets any exception.

3. IF the fraud is considered a CIMT that can be held against you, it may only qualify as one strike while two CIMTs that qualify as deportable offenses make you deporatable.

4. one CIMT alone is not enough to deport BUT if that fraud were classifiable as an aggravated felony (it might not be because the dollar amount is too low BUT it is unknown if if fits some other category without knowing the exact statute of conviction).
 
"one CIMT alone is not enough to deport "

B.S, one CIMT within 5 years of admission, with a possible sentence of 1 year or more make a person deportable.
