my bf who got arrested for 2nd degree robbery and did 8 months in a county jail is getting deported. Is it possible for him to return legally to the US after 5 to 10 years if he marries a us citizen and has us citizen children?

Marrying a US citizen has nothing to do with him being allowed to return. He more than likely will have to wait 10 years and then ask for permission. My ex husband is goign on 5 years and has 5 more to wait.

I believe marrying a US citizen does have something to do with returning. On the immigration application for those who want return to the US after removal they ask you if you have any family that are US citizens and to list them and their relation to you. Plus most people i know from the Dominican Republic only had the ability to come to the US in the first place bc their parents or wives were citizens. Its much faster to bring your wife, taking only about a year, but bringing your children takes longer, and it takes even longer if a US citizen applys to bring their sibiling from the dominican republic to the US.

Sorry honey, I was married to one and he still git deported. Had that been the case we would probably still he married. Being married to a US citizen after deportation does not better your chances. Especially with a felony record.

i know it wont prevent him from getting deported, im not stupid. but after 5 years when you can apply to re-enter the US through the immigration 212 form u have to write the names of relatives who live in the us and their relation to you along with documents of proof. And sorry to tell you but yes, it is a lot easier for anyone to come to the US if they are married to or is the child of a us citizen (if under 21). ordinary people in latino america just cant come to the US and get a permanent residence just by applying. A family member or job has to request for them. unless its like a 3 or 6 month visa to work or study or to travel they are a lil easier to get.

and i think coming back with 212 does depends on the crime and if they banned you from readmission or not. what i wanted to know really is if anyone has came back through the 212 form, i already know people who are in the process.

First of all you need to calm down on the attitude, never once did I say you were stupid, nor did I respond to you like you are repsonding. Maybe this should have been your question, what i wanted to know really is if anyone has came back through the 212 form, i already know people who are in the process. I've been there and we spoke to three attornies being married is not going to help a CONVICTED FELON, especailly one from another country be allowed reentry. And at the present time when the US is trying to ban illegals from coming here anyways, I highly doubt you are going to see many happening. But since you seem to know your answers to your own question good luck. Is it possible, anything is possible. Like I said, it seems as if you answered your own quesitons.

My ex husband has two kids here by his ex, we were married and again, three different attornies would not even touch the case.

Again, calm down on the atitudue because i was not coming at you with one, answering your questions.

but if say for example your x husband was only banned for say 5 years... shouldnt he be able to apply to come back to the US once the five years is up... or do they say u can apply to re-enter, but everyone gets rejected.

Luv Hurts · #8 07-28-2010, 10:31 PM

No, what i said was he has gone 5 years and has 5 more to go, his ban was for 10 years. The ban will more than likely be 5 or 10 years minimum. good luck on find out your answer. I am done answering

Well you get your ban say 10years. It is possible to file a waiver to re-apply before those 10 years are up. But if you are a convicted felon I would say the chances are pretty slim that they would aprove the waiver. So lets say you wait out the 10 years. Yes you then can apply and having US citizens does help. But when you are applying to come to the US they look at your criminal history. So best case to get approved would be to show reabilitation. Now say you had a DWI will you can show a phs. evaluation and treatment and attending AA for 10 years and stuff along those lines. Not exactly sure what you would do for armed robbery. I would think at least an anger management class. Also this person would have to become an outstanding "citizen". Like very active in the church and helping other. Getting letters from a number of different sources really showing that this person has really changed. But even if you do all that you might still not get approved. And with hiring a lawyer it will probably run you about $10,000. So it would totally suck to spend all that money and then not get him approved.

Check out www.immigrate2us.net and maybe you will see someone in a similar situation. (I know there are a few people on there that husbands had 10 year ban that could not be waiver and there time should be just about up).

Oh and the problem is that immigration law is so complicated that even someone that says they know everything really doesn't. So just because 4 lawyers said your case was hopeless doesnt mean number 5 won't have some loop hole that gets you in. They dont know everything. We have actually been screwed by 2 lawyers who told us incorrect information that they promised was the truth (question was asked many times and always same answer but it was completly false).

Good Luck
