    Default Reentry on a Conditional Green Card After a Domestic Violence Arrest

    Following marriage to a citizen, a man became a conditional permanent resident. Eight months later, after a marital dispute, he was charged with domestic violence.

    The domestic violence charge was eventually dismissed, with the man pleading guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail. He completed his probation without a problem. His criminal defense lawyer discussed the plea bargain with an immigration lawyer, so he's pretty sure that he's safe.

    Now he wants to travel out of the U.S., and he wants to be certain that the incident won't prevent him from re-entering the U.S. Does he have reasons for concern?

    Default Re: Reentry on a Conditional Green Card After a Domestic Violence Arrest

    If an immigration lawyer has already reviewed the facts and advised him, that's as strong an opinion as he's going to be able to get.

    With this being a single offense, pled down to disorderly conduct, I would anticipate that he won't have problems returning to the U.S., but I think that he should have with him court documents confirming the disposition of his case "just in case". Also, we can only speak about his chances or odds -- and sometimes the unexpected happens. If he's still nervous, his best bet is to have a follow-up consultation with the lawyer who has already reviewed the facts and advised him in relation to this case.
