No. Sometimes you have to look into the criminal history. When you're looking at a client, can I get you the green card with criminal history? It depends on the criminal laws in that state that they were convicted in or arrested in. There's this crazy rule in immigration where You don't have to be convicted of a crime for immigration to use it against you.

So if you've been wrongfully arrested and then DA dropped the charges, if they have a reason to believe that you committed that crime, they could use it against you. which is crazy.

And he kind of looked at me and I was like, and he didn't know what to say. And I was like, he didn't commit the crime. I prepped him for this. He just got wrongfully arrested. Right.
