Can You Be Deported If You're Arrested For Fraud?

In this video, Alice Lee, an immigration attorney at Joseph Potashnik and Associates, NYC, explains how a fraud arrest can seriously impact your immigration status in the United States.
Fraud crimes, especially those involving a theft of over $10 000, are generally considered aggravated felonies and if you’re sentenced to one year or more there’s a chance you will be deported. Even a short sentence or a non-jail sentence may still be considered a crime of moral turpitude and you may be deported.
Alice tells about a case where a family of non-citizens charged with a $30 000 health insurance fraud. The Joseph Potashnik and Associates law firm had to negotiate a plea agreement with the district attorney in order to save the family from deportation. The company’s immigration fraud lawyers worked out a deal which implied the clients paying most of the restitution before being arrested so that the remaining amount was only $9 000. So the family was charged with stealing $9 000 and managed to avoid the conviction of an aggravated felony when pleading guilty. This is a good example showing the necessity of having a competent immigration fraud lawyer in NYC that will give you good advice before you plead guilty.
