How Long Can A Misdemeanor Or Felony Conviction Stay On Your California Record?

Misdemeanor and felony convictions will essentially remain on your record forever unless you take some action to clean your record. Cleaning your record could require you to seek: (1) a reduction of your charges from a felony to a misdemeanor or misdemeanor to an infraction, (2) expunge a conviction, or (3) sealing a record of arrest.

Can I Apply For A Green Card Or Visa With A DUI On Record In California?

Unfortunately, a DUI conviction will complicate your ability to obtain a green card or visa. According to recently proposed legislation, a DUI conviction could render any non-citizen deportable. It is uncertain whether the new legislation will be applied retroactively.

I recommend any non-citizen with a DUI conviction seeking to apply for a green card or visa to consult with a qualified immigration attorney or a criminal defense attorney to determine how to vacate an older conviction. Additionally, an attorney can help prevent or come up with an alternative to pleading guilty to a future DUI.

What Are Some Uncommon Commercial Fishing Violations, And How Can I Stay Ahead Of Them?

There has been a recent increase in regulations regarding the electronic reporting of fishing activity, which has caused a number of unexpected violations. It is important to stay up-to-date on current laws by reviewing the annual Fisheries Digest and keeping up with updates from the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Can A DUI Conviction As A Non-Citizen In California Affect Your Immigration Status?

Now more than ever, it is important to understand how a DUI conviction can impact the immigration status of a non-citizen. Particularly, a conviction can impact your ability to remain in the United States and cause complications with your ability to naturalize.

In January 2025, a bill was introduced in the US Congress called H.R. 875, which would render a non-citizen deportable if convicted of a DUI, and would also render a non-citizen inadmissible to the United States for any purpose.

Are There Any Violations In California With Non-Negotiable Penalties?

There isn’t any specific penalty that will eliminate any possibility of negotiations, but severity can certainly play a role in your chances. More severe violations involving intentional disregard for regulations can either severely limit or entirely negate your ability to negotiate a settlement.
