Yup that's what I'm thinking too. An expunction (in NC anyway) is to only clear off misdemeanors so they won't show on your record when trying to buy a house, get a job, or something. I think you can get felonies off only if they were dismissed or found not guilty. I would "think" that one could...
I emailed a local expungement attorney to see what they said before I made a consult. This was the reply I got "Unless he was convicted of simple cocaine possession of under 1 gram, felonies can never be expunged. In fact, being convicted of a felony prevents the possibility of getting any other...

Thanks again for all of your info! Maybe we will contact a local expungement attorney. Know of any good ones in NC:) ? We still have 4 years before his green card expires so that should give us plenty of time. If we are able to get that expunged then I could probably skip hiring...
Our kids def come first for both of us. Guess we'll just have to see how this plays out. Maybe fredrikklaw will reply with more info too. I didn't think you could expunge a case that's still open. I thought you could only do that on a case that was dismissed or found not guilty. Oh...
Easier said than done lol. I had planned to do that back when all this happened. Then he got to come home. Mexico isn't the best place to live these days. Especially the border towns where we would have to live if I wanted to work in America & have my 2 kids educated in America. Guess we'll...
I just remembered something. Another reason I'm worried about renewing his green card is because in 2001 when we renewed and had the conditions removed that didn't check his criminal record to my knowledge. They only asked if he had been convicted of any crimes since becoming an LPR. They did...
Thanks for you response!
Well the main reason he hasn't tried for citizenship is because of this conviction (or whatever you would call it at this point). Our immigration lawyer did tell us that it might be a possibility. She just didn't seem completely sure to tell you the truth. They had...
My husband is up for renewing his green card in a few years and I'm trying to get info. I know I'll have to contact our immigration lawyer, but just wanted a few opinions. I'm not going to write a book here to give you ALL the info lol. Basically my husband took a plea deal back in 2003 to an...
I just need some information. Let's say someone takes the Alford plea for assault with a deadly weapon on a government official on a plea agreement. Later an MAR is filed. The judge does not allow the plea to be withdrawn, but does agree to resentence the person since mistakes were made on the...
