My question involves criminal law for the state of: new York
I was arrested last year in November 2009 an I stole from Duane reade. Stole $35 worth od stuff. I have a court date comng up on march 15. My main concern is that I'm a documented immgrant. I had a work authorization card when I was younger but it expired in 2004. I spoke o a criminal lawyer and he said that an acd would be in my best Interest. I spoke to an immigration Lawyer as well and he said that there is a possibility that the govt mght try to detain me and also deport me. My question is how likey is it that this can happen? I've nver gotten in trouble before and I'm also a college student. Both my parents are also illegal but my sister is a us citizen. Also my aunt sponserd my family for their green card and we will have an interview for it in January 2011. If I do get The acd and not get deported what are my chances of his effecting me getting my greencard? Sorry for all the typos I'm on an iPhone.
Thanks
