Violating laws: taking away permanent resident card?
Answer:
It is not likely that you will be deported. The criminal offense is local jurisdiction, and immigration is federal. Unfortunately (or fortunately in your case) the two offices do not usually talk to one another.
However, if your crime is serious enough someone from the local office can decide to do some digging and connecting dots. A criminal record can stop your from becoming an US citizen - part of the process of becoming a citizen is that you have to swear that you will be a lawful person. Without becoming a citizen your permanent residency status could get revoked. If you stay in the country, no one will really notice; however if you leave and return to US immigration officers at airports and the system will register your activities.
Best advice is not to do anything unlawful.
Best wishes.
Same as most citizens (jail and such) but as you are not a citizen you could also face revokation of residency and deportation.
if it was a misdemeanor most likely they won't, but if it's a felony they might. I all depends on how serious was the crime...
Here's some good advice... if you're an immigrant with a problem obeying the law I suggest you stay in your home country and do it there. You're going to end up back there anyway if you come here and break the law.
depends. you could go to jail, and after you serve your sentence, be deported back to your home country. I think that is the worst-case scenario though.
felony definitely but some others as well.
Who knows? It should be a big consequence
