Post-Conviction Relief

Immigration Relief After a Criminal Conviction – Filing a Motion to Reopen

Sometimes the criminal court gets it wrong. People get convicted for crimes they did not commit. Or a defendant does not get competent legal advice and representation, and they get convicted without a fair opportunity to assert their rights. This can have disastrous consequences for immigration purposes.

It is possible to seek post-conviction relief. Then if your criminal case is dismissed, you have new opportunities for immigration help. Decisions in removal proceedings can be reversed or you could become eligible for a green card with a motion to reopen. The dedicated team at American Dream™ Law Office fights hard to help clients with immigration criminal conviction issues of all types.

Motion to Reopen

After a criminal conviction, we can file a motion to reopen. You can get a second chance to prove you are eligible for deportation relief or qualify to receive a green card.

A criminal conviction motion to reopen works best in certain types of situations. We could review the circumstances of a conviction to determine whether relief is possible, and then explain the process. If necessary, we work in partnership with criminal attorneys who focus on post-conviction representation to secure the best opportunities for post-conviction relief.
