Hello there
I have been living in Colorado state peacefully since I got my green card 9 years ago. My green card was based on marriage.
On September of 2009 I got arrested for a DUI. I had no criminal record in the both Japan and USA, so this was my first arrest ever for any reason. My BAC was 0.137. DA is offering me a deferred FELONY provided probation and alcohol classes, because I ran away from patrol cars when I was pulled over...
My criminal lawyer asks "a misdemeanour" with probation so far...
My lawyer says I may have a bigger problem. Because I am a resident, not a citizen, I could face deportation, the reason is a FELONY.
If I plead guilty to the FELONY then immigration could possible review the case despite deferred judgement.
Is my DUI consider a CIMT? Actually I don't know yet what CIMT mean...
I am really scared if INS actually deports me...
Is this likely to happen to me? If so..., what should I do?
How can I stave off a deportation and stay in Colorado with my family?
Should I hire a immigration lawyer whenever I am deported on a court order!?
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
