Police Reports and Court Records (if applicable)

Police reports and court records document an individual’s criminal history, including arrests, charges, convictions, and sentences. In immigration court proceedings, these records are crucial in determining a foreign national’s admissibility, deportability, and eligibility for relief from removal. Certain criminal convictions can trigger grounds of inadmissibility or deportability, while others may bar an individual from qualifying for specific forms of relief, such as asylum, cancellation of removal, or adjustment of status. It is essential for foreign nationals to disclose their complete criminal history and provide all relevant police reports and court records to their attorney and the immigration court to ensure a fair and accurate assessment of their case.
