My husband has a green card, and it is due to expire next year. After nearly ten peaceful years in the US, he went out and got completely hammered over the weekend and got into a scuffle at a bar. He was beaten up by six guys. He wound up in jail with the charges of simple battery (I guess he pushed someone - let me put it to you this way, he has no bruises on his knuckles as though he punched someone, but he can barely speak from being choked, and his knees are bloody, and he has bruises all over his torso), resisting arrest without violence, and intoxication in public. Mostly, I think he was just incredibly drunk and a security guard decided it was time for him to leave and he didn't want to.
Do we need an immigration lawyer? He hasn't even has a court date yet, but the simple battery charge concerns me.That doesn't seem like something anyone is going to overlook. It seems like if that charge sticks, he can't even naturalize, which is what we were planning to do before ask this happened. Thank you for your help.
