Many aliens, immigrants or beneficiaries applying for lawful permanent resident status have been denied, arrested and or placed in Removal before an Immigration Judge for various reasons. Filing applications incorrectly,or being petitioned by a spouse who is not eligible to file can also result in one of these situations. There are many important factors to assess before any type of immigration application is filed. For example, whether a potential immigrant has a criminal background, no matter how long ago it occurred, must be reviewed before filing any type of immigration application.
