What if a person has two CMIT on their record within 10 years time frame and is eligible to apply for citizenship, should they do it? They had two theft misdemeanor and one was disclosed during green card application. The other one occurred after the green card and the lawyer at the time never explained the consequences. Currently, they are being advised to give up the green card and reapply through a sponsor.
Can someone be deported if they are refugees from unstable country? Is there anyway an attorney can go forth and fight for the client? They are also told not to travel outside of US for the next several years which could be extremely difficult. What are the options? Any advise could be helpful!

As my colleague states, there are several layers to your case. Obtain copies of all of the criminal records and arrests (if you can) and take them to a reputable immigration attorney for an informed opinion.
Travel, after an arrest and conviction, is risky. Again, talk with an attorney before leaving the country.
