Can I apply for I-190 with a warrant?

Thinking of renewing your green card (Form I-90) but have a warrant out for your arrest? Tread carefully. Here's why:

  • Legal Issues: Green card applications require proof that you're following the law. An outstanding warrant raises red flags for USCIS and could lead to denial.

  • Background Checks: USCIS digs into your background, including warrants. If they find one, your application could be delayed or denied.

  • Risk of Arrest: Depending on the warrant, you might be arrested during the application process, putting your green card renewal on hold.

Considering Applying Anyway? Talk to an Attorney First!

An immigration attorney can:

  • Assess your situation

  • Explain the risks and consequences

  • Guide you through the application process (if applicable)

Remember: While technically you can apply with a warrant, it's a gamble. Consulting an attorney can help you make the best decision for your situation.
