Forked River, NJ Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Depending on the exact crime he was convicted of, he may be inadmissible and barred from returning to the U.S. for life. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding his situation. Make sure that you bring full copies of his criminal history and convictions for review. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise you of his options.

I will assume that if USCIS has not yet made an adjudication and if your petition is still with the agency, it is either at the California Service Center which is a backlog between 9-12 years or the Vermont Service Center with backlog between 8 ½-11 years. I suggest that you try a couple of more times by yourself and if you have no success, you can reach out to the USCIS ombudsman’s office or to your local congressman or senator’s office as they have liaison staff with USCIS and could quite possibly find out and tell you the status of your case.
