Indialantic, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

There is a broad waiver for non-immigrant visas, and if your friend has shown rehabilitation and has a good reason for entering, he may very well be eligible for a waiver. The offense may also meet the "petty offense" exception. He should certainly speak with a lawyer who can review his conviction and help him present his case.

It is very likely he will be transferred to immigration custody once he finished his sentence.  They will issue him a notice to appear in immigration court (which starts the removal/deportation process).  Whether any relief is available to him will depend on the unique facts of his case and only a lawyer paid to evaluate his case could properly tell you what he changes of success will be.

U.S.C.I.S. may be asking for complete bank statements for 3 consecutive months to ensure that your husband is not merely putting in a large amount of money for one month into his account. If the money is in the account for the 3 months, that is probably good enough even without any transactions in the account. If you wish, you can add an additional sponsor. If you do so, you may consider having him or her submit a job letter and tax return in addition to the bank statements and affidavit that you propose.
