Permission to Reenter, Consulate Processing and Waiver of the 3/10 year bar There are three packages that must be completed. The Consulate Processing, the Permission to Reenter and the Waiver of Inadmissibility. A Consulate Processing package needs to be done for the Family Petition. This is a petition that will allow your loved one to come to the U.S. Our firm can prepare the Consulate Processing package which goes through U.S. Immigration, the National Visa Center and then the Consulate, so it goes smoothly and correctly. A Waiver of Inadmissibility will have to be obtained. This is a package that will include a legal brief, forms, documents, exhibits and declarations. My firm can prepare the entire waiver, and attach all of the necessary documents. It will take several months for the decision, and if done correctly, there is a good chance of an approval. The Waiver essentially makes the ground of ineligibility (i.e., the 3/10 year bar) disappear so that the you will be allowed entry into the U.S. You will also need to have a Permission to Reenter done so that the deportation bar will be lifted. This is a complete package that goes to the District Director to allow entry into the U.S. many years prior to when the deportation order would allow.

If you are a US citizen then you can sponsor your fiancé for a green card. You should discuss your case with counsel and process the entire case with your attorney. If you are not a US citizen the wait times will be significantly longer to obtain her green card.

The answer is that it is unlikely that any action you take will necessarily lead to your spouse's removal and deportation from the US. Sounds like your spouse was granted lawful permanent resident (LPR) status on a conditional status. What that means is that his LPR status is good for two years from the date of its approval. During the 90 day period before the expiration of his two year LPR status, he is required to file a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Condition on Residence, with CIS. There are 4 ways to file the I-751. It can be filed jointly by you and your spouse or it can be filed under one of three "waiver" categories. Choosing the proper I-751 depends on the client's situation. Because you and your spouse are having difficulty in the relationship, I would highly recommend that he seek the advice of an attorney who can provide the proper guidance on the right way to file the I-751. Truth is that divorce will not automatically terminate your spuse's conditional LPR status. But, divorce will throw some difficulties into the mix. And rather than attempt to explain all of the possibilities, I think it more important for your spouse to seek the advice of a knowledgeable attorney who can provide real experience in advising n the best route to be followed. Having seen my fair shard of these cases go bad because folks did not sit down with a lawyer, ask questions and understand the options available, I cannot suggest in any stronger terms that your spouse figure out what to do and how to do it. His green card will expire at the end of the two year conditional LPR status and it is exceedingly important that he do something before that green card expired. I am also concerned regarding th information that you provided about drugs and gambling and I would suggest that an honest and frank discussion with a professional legal service provider is the best way to go. Unfortunately, clients often attempt to BS their way thru these issues and hope that no one finds out. An open and honest discussion with any attorney looking to represent your spouse is important. Find a good attorney, we ar out there. Good luck.
