    Traveling with a crimal record
    My friend was convicted of armed robbery and was sentenced to 4-16 years. He was released after 4 for good behavior and completed 8 years of probation. He currently has a green card and was wondering if he was allowed to leave the US. He was afraid that he will not be readmitted when he come back. Is he allowed to leave and re-enter if since he has a record? Thanks.

    Definitely needs to meet with an experienced immigration attorney to determine if the criminal offense is a grounds of 'inadmissiblity" under section 212 that will bar him from re-entry. The USCIS does not use the same terms as state and federal criminal statutes.

    The attorney should review the actual state or federal criminal statute. Be sure to have your friend bring (1) charging documents (2) court judgment-conviction, and (3) court disposition--showing he's completed all the terms of the sentence.

    Hope this was helpful, if it was, rate this answer. Good luck.
