Can I renew my green card if I have a DUI?
The short answer is yes. Having a green card doesn’t protect you against removal from the U.S. in all situations. With a DUI on your record, you could be placed into immigration court (removal) proceedings, where an immigration judge will decide whether your crime matches one of the grounds of deportability.
