Criminal Defense of Immigrants

(C)  Deportability.  An immigrant granted an “S” visa becomes deportable if s/he:

(1)       fails to adhere to the conditions of status,

(2)           engages in deportable behavior after admission,

(3)           fails to disclose excludable conduct or condition prior to entry, or

(4)           suffers a conviction of any criminal offense after admission that is punishable by one year or more imprisonment.

The holder of an “S” visa waives the right to a deportation hearing or to contest deportability except for withholding of removal.[210]
