A friend is a green card holder in the U.S. legally. She recently broke up with a boyfriend here in the U.S. and things turned ugly.
The ex and his family are now pressing a series of charges against her...the merits of which are questionable. Most of this relates to what I would call lover's quarrels, and led to her breaking up with this man.
One is simple battery
One is aggravated assault
One is criminal trespass
She has a series of hearings coming up shortly. We are working with a criminal defense attorney at the moment, but my question relates to how this may or may not affect her green card status. She lives in Georgia.
We feel we have a good chance to prevail, but we also believe the motive behind bringing these charges is revenge and an attempt to have her deported.
What are the possible consequences should she be convicted of any or all of these charges as it relates to her green card status.
Thanks in advance for any information or insight.
