I think you're allowed to stay in my country when you've been living here for over 20 years. If you've been living here for 15-20 years, then they can deport you once you've received a sentence of 96 months or more (8 years). And we don't really have high sentences like in the States, so to get 8 years...that's a pretty serious crime. It's like I said, the longer you live here, the harder it will be to deport you.
