Fort Pierce, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

USCIS allows individuals who have filed a timely request for extension to remain in the US until the time that the extension request is adjudicated. Of course, if the time requested is close to expiration and there has not yet been an adjudication, the agency would expect the individual to leave or to submit another application prior to the ending date of the requested extension.

Sounds to me like your husband re-entered the US without inspection after he was deported. Huge no no. The way this work is that your husband has triggered the "permanent bar" which requires him to remain outside of the US for ten years before he can apply to receive the permission needed to return. I know that in the big scheme of things, wanting to care for your family is the right thing to do. Problem is the immigration authorities take the frequent violation of US immigration law relatively seriously and that is the issue here. I would encourage you to speak with an attorney to understand the legal issues here and what is at play. But I would be very cautious of anyone telling you that something can be done to fix this problem at any point in the immediate future. Good luck.
