My wife was charged with Felony Theft (just for being there with the person who stole) 5 years after LPR status / GC issued. 2 Years Probation and terminated without problems. It was a plea deal. They would not reduce charge to anything less.
According to INA 212 (2)(A)(i)(I), she may be removable / inadmisable.
We Need to travel for medical purposes as treatment is 10% of the price they want here in the United States.
My Question is, would the following Exception.-Clause Apply? (2)(ii)(II) which states "(ii) Exception.-Clause (i)(I) shall not apply to an alien who committed only one crime if-
(II) the maximum penalty possible for the crime of which the alien was convicted (or which the alien admits having committed or of which the acts that the alien admits having committed constituted the essential elements) did not exceed imprisonment for one year and, if the alien was convicted of such crime, the alien was not sentenced to a term of imprisonment in excess of 6 months (regardless of the extent to which the sentence was ultimately executed)." emphasis added.
Or. Would I need to file and apply for an I-601 for her?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I have a consult set up with attorney, but would like to know if anyone has personal experience or anything they can share.
