We will explain the arrest to conviction process in New York, detail the documents that immigration attorneys can rely on to determine conviction information, and briefly address the criminal grounds of deportability and inadmissibility and the criminal bars to naturalization. In addition, we will discuss some common New York dispositions and their immigration consequences.
