How crimes can impact a non-citizen status

Some crimes can get a non-US citizen (“N-USC”) deported. It is the conviction of certain crime or the admission to certain crimes that makes the N-USC inadmissible to the United States (US). When a N-USC is inadmissible, it can mean one of two things. First, a person was admitted to the US in some status (student, lawful permanent resident, and/or visitor status to name a few), but after the commission and conviction or admission to the crime that person becomes inadmissible and absent a waiver may not be able to get a green card or hold onto the green card or other status. Second, inadmissible also means that a person is at a port of entry and based on some crime and/or other violation of the US laws (s)he is not allowed to enter the US. When there is a crime, fraud and/or misrepresentation, sometimes a waiver may correct the problem. Some crimes and or misrepresentation cannot be cured with a waiver. A few examples are: sexual assault of minors, some other sexual assault crimes, domestic assault, claims to be a United States citizen (USC), killing someone to name a few.  Sometimes two or more crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT) can impact your immigration status.
