Understanding The Consequences Of Inadmissibility
Inadmissibility is a critical concept in immigration law. If you are deemed inadmissible, you may be denied entry to the United States or face deportation. As a criminal immigration attorney, we will help you understand the grounds of inadmissibility and develop a strategy to overcome them.
Some common grounds of inadmissibility include:
- Criminal convictions: Certain criminal convictions, such as those related to drugs or violence, can make you inadmissible.
- Fraud or misrepresentation: If you have made false claims or misrepresented yourself to obtain an immigration benefit, you may be deemed inadmissible.
- Health-related issues: Certain health-related issues, such as communicable diseases, can make you inadmissible.
We will work closely with you to gather evidence and build a strong case to overcome inadmissibility. Some possible options include:
- Waivers of Inadmissibility: We assist in filing waivers that may allow you to enter or remain in the U.S., even with a criminal record.
- Immigration Appeals: If you face denial due to inadmissibility, we handle immigration appeals, challenging unfavorable decisions and seeking positive outcomes.
Understanding inadmissibility is crucial in safeguarding your immigration status. Our team ensures that you are informed and equipped to address these issues head-on.
Disqualification And Deportation: Aggressive Representation

Our criminal immigration attorneys will:
- Explain the potential deportation risks associated with your case
