While I'm not 100% sure on this topic, I'm almost sure that makes her ineligible for a green card, especially considering she's been convicted and gone to jail. Read more about it here: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/crimes-that-make-us-visa-green-card-applicants-inadmissible.html

Maybe someone more knowledgeable can add more?

The OP stated the petitioner is the one with the drug felony; not the beneficiary. What you posted is about a beneficiary with a drug crime, so it is irrelevant here.

There are only certain crimes that will prohibit a petioner from being able to bring a beneficiary to the US. Usually, it involves the Adam Walsh Act.

The petitioner's drug felony should not be a problem for the beneficiary.

Luck has nothing to do with this. This is about the law. Being a good person now does not matter.

Although I'm no expert, from reading what I have on the process as long as the conviction wasn't for a violent crime or sexually related offense she should be ok.

Does the petitioner have a passport and met their beneficiary in the last 2 years? If so I'd think only applying will answer the real question.

Good luck...

I'll reiterate for the one person who stated that it really won't matter because it's the petitioner. That is the case. If it were the beneficiary with the drug related crime, perhaps a different story.

Oh, duh. I have no idea how I overlooked the "petitioner" part. headbonk.gif
