The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) recently found that a single conviction for patronizing a prostitute did not qualify as a crime involving moral turpitude (CMT). The AAO found that a waiver of inadmissibility was not required. In this particular case, the permanent resident, or "green card," application was denied and an appeal was filed with the AAO, since there was a denial of the waiver of inadmissibility. Fortunately for the green card applicant, the AAO found that the waiver was not needed because the crime was not a CMT and the appeal was dismissed, so that the individual was able to obtain U.S. permanent resident status.
