What Is Crimmigration Law?
If you are an immigrant, visa holder, or permanent resident facing criminal charges in the United States, you are not just fighting a criminal case – you are fighting for your right to stay in the country.
Crimmigration law is the intersection of criminal and immigration law. It addresses the consequences that criminal charges and convictions can have on a noncitizen’s immigration status.
At Mathur Law Offices, we have helped thousands of clients navigate this complex area. We don’t just defend you in court. We defend your immigration future.
Why Crimmigration Law Exists
Congress has expanded the grounds of deportability and inadmissibility over the last few decades. Now, even a single misdemeanor can trigger:
- Deportation (removal proceedings)
- Visa revocation
- Denial of green card or citizenship
- Ineligibility for asylum, DACA, or TPS
Too often, immigrants take plea deals that seem minor, only to discover later that their immigration status has been destroyed.
Examples of Crimmigration Cases:
- A DACA recipient charged with drug possession
- A student on F1 visa arrested for assault
- An H1B worker accused of theft or fraud
- A green card holder with a domestic violence arrest
What to Do If You’re in This Situation
- Do not take any plea deal without consulting a crimmigration attorney
- Get a lawyer who understands both sides of the law
- Act quickly to protect your record and your status
