- 212C Relief is relief from deportation for legal permanent residents who were convicted of a crime prior to 1996.
- It could be a drug-trafficking crime or any other aggravated felony. It’s only limited to those crimes where the conviction took place prior to 1996.
- To be eligible for that, you just have to show that you’ve been in the United States for five years, and that your deportation would result in extreme hardship to yourself or to your family.
- So if you do find yourself in that position and you have an aggravated felony conviction that was pre-1996, don’t think you’re going to be deported.
Coronavirus Announcement: During the Coronavirus epidemic, our main objective is to provide a safe place for initial office consultations. Therefore, our firm has decided to limit face-to-face consultations except for those individuals who do not have access to Skype or FaceTime, and whose cases maybe too complicated to review without an in-person consultation. Thank you for your understanding during these turbulent times.
