    Default How Will Drunk Driving and a Probation Violation Affect Green Card Renewal

    A loved one has just pled guilty to his 3rd DUI in 10 years (first was 9 years ago), 4th DUI since entering the country in 1992. This current DUI was while he was still on probation from the last one, in 2012. His green card comes up for renewal this December.

    Is violation of DUI probation (by driving with alcohol in his system) considered a crime of moral turpitude? By renewing his green card, is he setting himself for problems? He lives and his DUIs were in California, if that makes any difference.

    Thanks,

    Rebeccah

    Default Re: How Will Drunk Driving and a Probation Violation Affect Green Card Renewal

    Your loved one needs to get his alcoholism under control.

    Permanent residents are expected to obey the law. Habitual law-breaking and alcoholism are both issues that can affect permanent residency. Your loved one should discuss his situation with an immigration lawyer.
