Question

Can a U.S. citizen who was imprisoned twice sponsor their spouse, who overstayed their worker visa, for permanent residency? The imprisonment was once for a felony of selling drugs and a second imprisonment for stealing a tractor!! They have just been released.

Thank you.

Hello:

Those crimes by themselves would still allow the U.S. Citizen to petition.
