felony

[NickD 203]

I wish you the best of luck in solving your problem.

Barb

thank you very much. God bless you. that what i was looking for, people that give me support, not make funny .thank you.

To me it depends whether you were a victim or the culprit, my immigrant daughter was a victim, but walked into it, was suppose to take her car to the library to get some books, but stops in a pool hall instead and gives this scumbag a ride that is carrying drugs, has a burnt out tail light, stop by the police and pulled into the police station, I get a call. When I found out what was going on, I got madder than hell, using my strong military voice at the cops, she was a victim of this scumbag trying to push drugs on her. She didn't take any, she got by with seeing a case worker and her mother and I had to go in with her. Case worker was very impressed our daughter had parents that cared and wrote it off, no record of the event.

But she broke an element of trust in us, so I took her car away for six months, she was pissed, but just reminded her what kind of trouble she can get herself into, and she broke that trust with us by not going where she told us she was going.

So are you a victim of this drug thing, if so, I hope you get off. But if you are the culprit trying to make a couple of bucks by addicting people, I hope they deport your ### after serving a jail sentence.

You don't give the details, parent have enough problems as it is and some drugs can kill your kids if not get them hooked and lead them into a life of crime.

Two months ago my daughter-in-law, pregnant with my grandchild, a pharmacist, had a gun pointed at her head by an ####### robbing her of a prescription drug that gives a high. They haven't caught him yet, but how can you show mercy toward people like this? Guy was shaky according to my daughter, one jerk on that trigger, she and my grandchild would be dead.

So why are you involved with drugs? They sure don't do any good.

hello friends. i made a big mistake last week . i've got arrest with a bag of cocaine with me. next year i need to remove conditions(april). that was a felony, but was my first(and last) time, so i paid the bail and i got out of the jail in 24 hours. my question is: am i going to be able to remove my condition and get the permanent green card? or i going to lose my green card? please help me . yhank you very much.

If you have both an immigration and criminal lawyer why are you asking this question here, and since most of the advice given here was to get an immigration and criminal lawyer, why do you criticize those who gave you this very valuable advice? You are the one who got caught with the coke. If I were you I would be doing some serious soul-searching and prioritizing in my life rather than jumping down people’s throats. Since you already claim to have the lawyers (which is the same advice I would have given) I can only recommend that you think REALLY HARD before you make another stupid "mistake" like possessing cocaine.

Only my opinion and worth absolutely zero...

p.s. you would do well to look up definition of "mistake" and compare to definition of "intentional” or "deliberate". The fact that you possessed the cocaine was intentional and deliberate. The mistake is thinking you will find much sympathy here or elsewhere.

You asked for advice. I gave you advice - look for a job in Brazil. I see, however, that you are now magically from Djibouti rather than Brazil. Interesting. I wasn't trying to be funny. I was giving you the only advice that seemed logical. Besides, if you had a big bag of cocaine on you, I really don't WANT you staying here. Go back to your own country (whatever that might be) and f##k up some lives there; leave our kids alone.

From your replies to me and names you've called me, I think I made the correct assesment of your character. So, I stand by my advice. Look for jobs wherever the hell you're from.

And yes....I AM an a$hole. But at least I'm not a scumbag, goat-f##king, c##k-slurping, drug dealing f##ktard like you.

Have a great day, and don't drop the soap, prison b!tch.

P.S. No, I never have made a stupid-arsed mistake like having a large bag of cocaine on me. I've managed to not only not get arrested so far in life, but I also haven't done anything that WOULD get me arrested.

So, where's that basket of stones? I have a few tosses coming to me.....

you r really funny #######

no ,his not right, you guys don't even know what you r saying, i just hired a immigration lawyer and he is very good. he told me to not worry about it, he said that everyone deserve a second chance and the immigration gives a second chance too. my criminal lawyer said the same thing. the judge going to offer me a drug program and if i finish it they going to drop the charges. i came here for ask to some help and i see some people making funny with the other people problems. if you can't help just don't say nothing.

...

you r a fckuing as..ole

and by the way. who never made a mistake in life? right? trow the first rock piece of ....

[Ban Hammer 13,345]

but i don't think coke is much of an export from brazil. maybe colombia.

personally, i think the op is hosed. while the charges may be reduced, uscis will in all likelihood take a very dim view of this arrest.

Especially considering that ANY sort of drug arrest & conviction in your home country (or even admitting to drug use during the interview!) makes you completely ineligible for a visa...I'm gonna have to say that a new green card probably won't be forthcoming.

Charming. I guess us non-criminal types don't understand you criminal types, but you're helping us learn.

The mistake was getting caught. The same mistake 75% of our police department made a few years back by getting caught selling drugs. Unfortunately many of our criminals have learned not to get caught would be to gain high political positions with fall guys.

Our prisons in WI are loaded with victims of drug dealers, I do as many others feel that is not right and many were suckered into addiction and incarceration is costing the taxpayers a fortune.

Wife is from Colombia and detests the stigma that comes from just being born there, lot's of great hard working honest people in Colombia, but too bad that country has such a bad reputation because of a few drug cartels. But Mexico is taking honors now.

I take my hat off to you sir, that is a class retort!!

lol

What I lack in class, I make up for with a colourful vocabulary of dubious origins....

[desert_fox 32]

you had better get this plea bargined down to a misdemeanor. If you are convicted of a felony, you will do you time, and ICE will be waiting for you when you come out of jail (or prision) and take you into custody. You will be removed from the US. The law doesnt tolerate drug crimes.

1) Absolutely no adverse feelings against your wife or fellow countrymen. Been to Colombia a few times and enjoyed it very much.

2) If you think the mistake was getting caught then you missed the point of what it means to be an honest and hard working person. Honesty is in not breaking the law in the first place.

3) Suckered into addiction? We are not talking about school children here. This guy is at least 18 and probably a good bit older. I'm not going to fall for the "I'm a victim" routine on this one.

4) "because of a few drug cartels" Did you read that before you hit "Add Reply"? Who is giving who a bad name?

5) Guess i missed the news report "a few years back" that said that 75% of our police departments got caught selling drugs, #######. Please do supply us with the basis for your claim.

The drug cartels get all their money from their customers, most of whom are in the US. The drug users who don't, as you say, make the mistake of getting caught are the ones who are financing the violent cartels in Colombia, Mexico, and elsewhere, and thus giving those places a bad name. Someone who of their free will pays money to finance the drug dealers and their cartels is not a victim, in my book.

You can argue that legalization would break up the cartels and end the violence and corruption, and you might even be right. But at least until the laws are changed, I think it's right to punish those who illegally pay money to finance the violence behind the illegal drug trade.

Anyway, back to OP's question. Your problem isn't removal of conditions (assuming your relationship is bona fide). Your problem is committing a drug crime. It would be a problem regardless of whether you had a ten year green card or a conditional one. You need to be consulting with both your immigration attorney and your criminal attorney and you need to make sure they're talking with each other. If you haven't hired both attorneys, you need to hire them both now. I've heard of cases where a criminal attorney who wasn't familiar with immigration issues got his client a plea deal that would have been reasonable for a US Citizen from the point of criminal penalties, but which had the side effect of causing his client to be removed from the US permanently.

Great. You go through the entire immigration process and manage to get yourself caught with a bag of cocaine.

Thank you SO f**king much for doing that, then coming here and posting on this site to tell us all about it. Because we really, really needed to hear about it. And you obviously couldn't be bothered to listen to the advice from your attorneys - you needed our advice. Tell me this - was it your drug money that paid for the lawyers?

That you SO f**king much for becoming a statistic - an immigrant who comes into the US and commits a crime. Because you have really helped all of us here.

But most importantly, thank you SO f**king much for making life easier for all the rest of us who want nothing more than to be with the one(s) we love.

Idiot.

Should have said, our "city" police department and a small town at that with a population of 20,000 very trusting help your neighbor kind of people.

fla2008 stated he made a mistake, and in a facetious manner, was that mistake carrying a bag of cocaine or getting caught? And was this a tiny bag he is addicted to, or a shopping bag intended for profit? Makes a difference between being a victim of drugs and a culprit, victims need rehabilitation, culprits needs lots of jail time, but victims will also commit crimes to get the bread they need to buy drugs, so not too easy to have sympathy for them if they beat up an old lady for a couple of bucks.

Course attorneys are paid liars, don't volunteer any information, give a hard luck story, and make it appear the you are a victim and put yourself at the mercy of the court, get a haircut, shave, and a nice suit, be very polite and courteous, try and get you off lightly, so you can go back on the streets.

I really don't know the facts with fla2008, but it is an emotional problem when these drugs get close to home and your own kids can become victims of it. But if one of my kids was selling drugs, may send him a Christmas card when in jail.

I have no idea why America is such a huge market for drugs, doesn't solve anything, just makes stuff that much worse.

FFS, people. He did the crime and he's gonna do the time. Why does everyone feel the need to show how "honorable" they are?

Phonies.
