Criminal Law

• Sex Crimes
  The harshest penalties are reserved for a category of crimes called “aggravated felonies.” With a few exceptions, it does not matter how or when the person may have been convicted of the aggravated felony. It also does not matter that the person pleaded guilty or nolo contender (no contest) or went through an entire trial – the only thing the immigration judge is concerned about is whether the person was convicted of an aggravated felony. Aggravated felonies include murder, rape, illicit trafficking in a controlled substance, money laundering in transactions in exceeding $10,000, firearms, explosives or arson charges, any crime of violence, whether against people or property, for which the term of imprisonment imposed is at least 1 year, theft offenses, “national defense” offenses (such as transmitting certain defense information), commercial bribery, counterfeiting, forgery, trafficking in vehicles with altered identification numbers, and perjury. Foreign convictions will have the same effect, where the term of imprisonment was completed within the last 15 years.As an experienced immigration attorney, we will research to determine the effect of any conviction on your right to stay in the country. There might be a possibility of overturning the conviction or reducing the charge (perhaps because you pleaded guilty without being told that the conviction could lead to deportation).

• Investor Visas
  The E-2 Investor Visa is issued to an investor that enters the United States, based upon treaty between the US and the country of which he/she is a national, to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which the alien has invested, or is actively in the process of investing a substantial amount of capital. Generally, nationals of the treaty country must own 50 percent of the business in question. The investor must show that he or she has either made a substantial investment or is actively in the process of making a substantial investment in the enterprise. “In the process of investing,” the investor must be close to the start of actual business operations, not simply in the stage of signing contracts (which may be broken) or scouting for suitable locations and property. Mere intent to invest, or possession of uncommitted funds in a bank account, or even prospective investment arrangements entailing no commitment, will not suffice.
