If it does come down to my husband getting deported, my family is going to go with him. Is it too late to ask for a voluntary deportation? If he can get a voluntary deportation then we could ride down there together as a family instead of him being transported by bus or whatever and then having to wait on us at the border.

>>> I have not lost faith that we are going to overcome this obstacle with flying colors. I just want to be prepared for if things go south (literally).....<<<

>>> One good thing that has come out of this whole situation is that I have lost 10 pounds of baby fat since he has been in jail. Yay! Just too bad that it had to come off like this. I have learned now though that I can't sit up and pace the floors 24/7. For anyone that is a situation like this they need to know that it is best to just stay calm and do what you have to do, what is priority. Getting yourself all upset because your loved one is in some kind of a situation isn't going to help anything, they are not going to let them go because you are at home getting yourself all worked up. Things will all turn out how they are supposed to be..... Just have faith in yourself and your loved one. If your significant other gets deported and you can't go with them it will turn out 1 way or the other, you will either stay together or you won't. If they are faithful and true to you when they are that far away you will know that when you are reunited they are the right 1 for you and that you have made a really good choice (that situation is also turned around, if you are faithful to them then you know that is the star that you have searched for your whole life. The star that everyone searches for). If you don't stay together then maybe it just wasn't meant to be anyway. Everything always happens for a reason. Trust in what direction your life is supposed to go, and things will go as smooth as can be.......<<<<

I just wanted to put that last part in so that I can show people that there is hope 1 way or the other... I read a post that was posted to me on here and I lost all hope off of it. I was ready to just throw in the towel, but then I realized that I have to keep going strong for my family, MI FAMILIA!

i think it all depends on what you{re up against. I havent seen your previous posts. but remember.... deportation is deportation, whether it is voluntary or not. you still will be denied reentry, regardless of your deportation status. Ill check your last post and hopefully provide more info. good luck.

Voluntary deportation is a term often used interchangably for two different things. One is someone who is out on bond fighting deportation and in the end loses or gives up and agrees to voluntarily depart at their own expense by a certain date. The other is when they waive their right to a hearing and agree voluntarily to be deported. This is done with them in custody and just saves time fighting. They are usually deported to Mexico very quickly in this case. I don't know if those are options available to your honey or not. You would need to ask your attorney.
There is something that is referred to as voluntary deportation that is not treated exactly the same as a normal deportation. With this situation you are able to get a visa later to enter the US. There is a form you have to fill out first to see if you qualify to apply for a visa. I have read about it, but since it didn't apply to the situation that I was looking for answers to, I do not recall all the details. I can always try to find the info again if it applies to someone's situation. Common sense would tell me that it would most likely apply to someone with only a five year ban, no felonies or something like that.

Our lawyer told us that either way that it goes that it would be a blessing in desquise for him. That out of this situation he would get a permenant residency. The only differences between the 2 circumstances is that we would be having to go to different Immigration offices, in different countries, and that if he gets deported then there will be additional paperwork that we will have to file. I don't know... I guess that I will just have to sit down and have a talk with him. We are getting his I-190, G-325 (on me and him) & I-765 into Immigration before he goes for his Master Hearing. That way if he does get deported he won't have to wait as long for his "right of passage"

Just as a heads up. If he gets deported and you end up having to do the visa process and appear at the consulate in Mexico, you need to be prepared for him to possibly be stuck in Mexico for 12-18 months. You would definately want to use guidelines from www.immigrate2us.net to put together a waiver packet. However, you won't even get to file a waiver until your 2nd appointment, at least.
Either way, I'm wishing you and your honey tons of luck
