    Unhappy How to Deal with Citizenship Denial

    Myself and my wife became US citizens in Sep/Oct 2010.
    My son, Aged 20Y/10M was denied because he had 2 arrests in Oct 2010. First arrest was due to "possession of marijuana less than 1 gram" (True). Second was for possession of a controlled substance (proven to be untrue; since he has prescribed pain medication without the original bottle).

    The arrests took place AFTER fingerprinting. There is an country lawyer dealing with his cases. As of Jan/2011, he has not had the opportunity to see a judge yet. The court date was reset once. It is possible that both the cases will be reduced to Class C (minor) misdemeanour, but they are unlikely to be dropped.

    His Green card expires in March/2012.
    He is currently in a trade school doing automotive technician certification. He plans to apply for US army soon after finishing school in April.
    What are his options ?

    Pls advise
    Thanks
    Anil

    You need both criminal and immigration attorneys. Make them good (likely expensive!) ones. Look for an immigration specialist with experience and success with denials. Look at the AILA website to begin your search.
