Yes, but it depends on the type of felony and if you are a repeater offender.

by the way, during my cousin's mishaps of his years of mistakes and all of these conviction was an overnite jail only (non-felony charges, but don't know if USCIS categorize assault as aggravated battery? ) and court date placed and served paying fines, anger classes, rehabilation, AA meetings and probation for five years on the previous DWI which already ended from 2002 , since he's a PR and has the original greencard since 12 (1979 entered in U.S. with legal documents) and thought that he was a citizen, i've called atty's card was valid (Form I-551, because has no expiration date) they said it's not mandated and/or has not been proposed for renewal!


A proposed USCIS rule would require all United States permanent residents with a Green Card without an expiration date to apply for a new and updated Green Card. The old Green Cards issued between 1977 and 1989 with no expiration date (Form AR-3, AR-103 and I-151) will be valid until the USCIS sets a termination date for the cards. It is currently not required to update Green Cards without and expiration date. However, it is strongly recommended to do so to avoid being "Out of Status" when the rule takes effect. and if so,

what if he tries to renew his card and I believe that new cards has expiration every ten years and ....

1. do they look for background checks just to renew one?
2. would he barred for filing citizenship?

and also, I find that any kind of "felony" criminal activity charges would result of deportation especially when being detained for many day's by a local/federal law and will assist the ICE to give information of what status of the detainee is in. Now, that my cousin is seeking an attorney for more consultation to what to do and he's being careful of what anykind of movement keeping himself out of trouble/abide by the ground rules of the law!

i would strongly recommend that immigration counsel be involved as the record looks complicated enough that issues will likely exist.

Best not to guess at this at this point...have the details carefully reviewed.

Lightbulb Re: resident alien and criminal record

I've spoke (consultation) for my cousin's behalf of his status with an Immigration atty...according to them is to not travel outside of U.S. for now and nothing to worry about the P.R. card without no expiration on Form I-551...it's not mandated for renewal on that form as I read/posted the USCIS procedure of what needs to be renewed. But for the time being, is not to file citizenship!
