In this short Spanish‑language immigration Q&A, the speaker answers Diego’s question about whether being married to a U.S. citizen who has a criminal record will affect his immigration paperwork. The speaker explains that most convictions—such as drug offenses, theft, or DUI—do not prevent the citizen spouse from sponsoring the foreign spouse. However, convictions for sexual abuse, especially sexual abuse of a minor, are an exception: a citizen convicted of such crimes is barred from sponsoring anyone. The overall message is that, except for sexual‑abuse convictions, a spouse’s criminal history generally does not impede the immigration process.
