Thinking of sponsoring a family member for US immigration but have a criminal record? Here's what you need to consider:

• Criminal Record Matters: Certain crimes can block sponsorship entirely (check inadmissibility grounds).

• Waivers Might Be Possible: Exceptions exist, but waivers require legal expertise.

• Sponsorship Challenges: Your record could raise concerns about finances and suitability.

Don't navigate this alone! Consult an immigration attorney to understand your options and increase your chances of success.
