    Although his conviction for attempted weapon possession in this case rendered him deportable, it did not render him inadmissible. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2) (listing criminal grounds of excludability); Matter of Granados, 16 I. & N. Dec. 726, 1979 WL 44438, **2-3 (BIA 1979) (possession of a sawed-off shotgun not an excludable offense); Blake v. Carbone, 489 F.3d 88, 95 (2d Cir. 2007) (citing Granados for the proposition that a firearms offense is not the “basis of any ground of exclusion”). Normally, an individual who has been deported must wait 10 years before seeking readmission.
