At dtbinmigrante.org, we understand that criminal records can complicate your immigration process. However, having a criminal history doesn't mean there are no options to regularize your status in the U.S. We help you navigate these complex situations and find legal solutions.

How Do Criminal Records Affect Immigration?

Criminal records can significantly impact your ability to obtain a visa, Green Card, asylum, or other immigration benefits. Depending on the nature and severity of the offenses, you may face:

• Inadmissibility: Denial of entry to the U.S.
• Deportation: Removal from the country.
• Denial of Immigration Benefits: Such as citizenship or adjustment of status.

Offenses Affecting Immigration Eligibility

Some offenses that can cause problems include:

• Aggravated Felonies: Such as murder, drug trafficking, or serious fraud.
• Misdemeanors: Though less severe, they can affect eligibility.
• Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT): Such as fraud, theft, or domestic violence.
• Immigration Violations: Such as illegal reentry after deportation.

Legal Options Available in 2025

Despite criminal records, there are ways to regularize your status:

• Waivers of Inadmissibility: Such as I-601 or I-601A waivers.
• Cancellation of Removal: If you meet the requirements.
• Asylum or Protection under CAT: If you have a credible fear of persecution or torture.
• Adjustment of Status with Waiver: In specific cases, like spouses of U.S. citizens.

What's New for 2025

• Increased Flexibility in Waivers: Expanded criteria for waivers like I-601A.
• Focus on Rehabilitation: Greater consideration of rehabilitation and time elapsed since the offense.
• Faster Processes: Reduced wait times for waivers and other procedures.
