In this brief segment, attorney Lorena Rivas, Esq. clarifies a common misconception: even if a criminal charge is expunged or “cleaned” in criminal court, it is never removed for U.S. immigration purposes. Immigration authorities treat expunged charges as convictions, and they remain on the individual’s immigration record. She warns that advice from a criminal lawyer about “cleaning” a record does not apply to immigration law.
