(iii) has not been convicted of—
(I) any offense under Federal or State law, other than a State offense for which an essential element is the alien’s immigration status, that is punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of more than 1 year; or
(II) 3 or more offenses under Federal or State law, other than State offenses for which an essential element is the alien’s immigration status, for which the alien was convicted on different dates for each of the 3 offenses and imprisoned for an aggregate of 90 days or more; and
** A significant misdemeanor is what is defined in (I)
|
I had an understading that significan mismeanor was
A 'significant' misdemeanor is: a misdemeanor that involves domestic violence, sexual abuse or exploitation, burglary, driving under the influence (DUI), unlawful possession or use of a firearm, or drug distribution or drug trafficking; or. any misdemeanor for which you are sentenced to more than 90 days in prison
I believe (I) is a felony. (a crime, typically one involving violence, regarded as more serious than a misdemeanor, and usually punishable by imprisonment for more than one year)
Under the Dream Act bill, Significant misdemeanor should not disqualify you.
