Immigrants In Rhode Island File Post Conviction Relief
Have you established your lifestyle or family life in the United States? Were you found guilty of a crime you were no part of? Even if you were guilty, there are chances to lower convictions, and remain in the United States.
Did you know that a conviction can trigger immigration deportation or removal? It’s a fact. A conviction can leave felons holding legal residency by a thread. Crimes involving moral turpitude or CMITs for instance, can start an initiation proceeding for removal or deportation. However, post conviction relief, or vacating prior convictions as it is sometimes called may eliminate the chances of this ever happening.
A post conviction relief is essentially a motion to remove or dismiss a conviction, based on the persuasive arguments presented by a lawyer.
Examples of CMITs include:
- Murder
- Rape
- Voluntary Manslaughter
- Kidnapping
- Spousal Abuse
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Aggravated Assault
- Perjury
- More
