I need help.
I plead no-contest to a Penal Code 415 (Disturbing the peace -
infraction) on my lawyers advice, for a Domestic Violence issue.
Now, when I was returning from a trip abroad, the immigration folks
stopped me and were not certain if I should be deported or not. They
let me in for now.
I read INA 212(a)(2) and 237(a)(2)(E)(i) and it appears I am safe - it
appears that a "Disturbing the peace" plea as an infraction (even if
for a Domestic Violence issue) is not a deportable offense or one that
bars entry.
I believe it is not considered a "Crime Involving Moral Turpitude". Is
that true?
Anybody have any advice? Please, any suggestions, experiences,
anything are welcome
Thanks! |
