There is no worse experience than deportation for a non-U.S. citizen. Having lawful permanent residence is a privilege and not a right.
This privilege can be revoked if you are convicted of a crime or charged with violating any other section of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Any non-U.S. citizen can be deported for certain criminal offenses, even if you enter the country legally on a visa, can be deported for overstaying a visa, or if you give fraudulent information on an application or passport.
You may be able to avoid deportation, depending on your immigration status and the crime you have been charged with. An immigration judge will consider granting a waiver, taking into account positive factors such as: family ties, work history and, if applicable, rehabilitation from a criminal conviction.
