An individual who has been convicted of or admits having committed the essential elements of a crime relating to a controlled substance is both inadmissible and deportable. Under this section of the law, any foreign national who is, or at any time after admission has been, a drug abuser or addict is also deportable.
Removal defense for this type of charge starts with determining whether the drug listed in your conviction is in the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA). You may also be eligible for a waiver of 30 grams or less of cannabis.
