Before you file any immigration paperwork or even travel outside the U.S., watch this urgent video. Immigration laws are stricter than ever — and one misstep could lead to losing your green card, deportation, or even denial of naturalization.
From open criminal cases to fraud accusations, fake marriages, and even voting mistakes, Shepelsky Law Group breaks down the top 5 reasons immigrants lose status — and what you must avoid.
🔶 1. Travel With an Open Criminal Case
Until your criminal case is resolved, you should not leave the U.S. Even if you do, you must bring your court dispositions with you. ICE officers will check these upon your return, and unresolved legal matters can put your immigration status at risk.
🔶 2. Arrests That Lead to Deportable Convictions
Some arrests that result in convictions — even misdemeanors — can be grounds for deportation. What seems like a minor issue in criminal court could carry serious consequences with USCIS or ICE.
🔶 3. Fraud or Misrepresentation on Immigration Forms
Lying or omitting details on any immigration application can come back to haunt you — especially at your citizenship interview. This is a common reason why immigrants lose green card status or face denaturalization later on.
🔶 4. Fake Marriage Allegations
If USCIS suspects your marriage is not legitimate, you could be denied removal of conditions, or future petitions for family members may be blocked. Consular investigations abroad may expose false marriages and trigger serious penalties.
🔶 5. Voting in a Federal Election
You cannot vote in federal elections unless you are a U.S. citizen. Doing so as a green card holder is a deportable offense and can jeopardize your entire immigration path — including citizenship eligibility. You don’t want to get your green card revoked!
⚖️ Don’t Risk Your Future — Always Work With an Immigration Lawyer
These are tough times for immigrants, and even small mistakes can cost you your American Dream. Always consult a qualified immigration attorney before submitting any paperwork to USCIS.
