Citizenship

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Assuming that you are qualifying for citizenship under the five-year rule, you must have been physically present at least 2 1/2 years and not have left the US for one year or more during any one trip. Absences of six months or more can be construed as abandoning residence for naturalization purposes, although that can be rebutted by good reasons and showing ties and bonds in the US during that time. Not filing a tax report if you have been earning enough money to pay US taxes could be construed as a failure of good moral character, which could further bar an individual from citizenship. You could resolve that issue by filing amended returns. If you have been excessively outside the US, and you are subject to the five-year rule, you could begin a new period of physical residence in the US and file four years and one day after the time that you actually began residing again in the US as your country of permanent domicile.

What steps could I take to stop the deportation?

Answered by attorney Yahima Suarez (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Hernandez & Suarez, PL
Your husband may have a chance if he can vacate the sentence on the drug charges in criminal court. This needs be done quickly as the immigration case will not wait. For immigration purposes, any charge of drugs more than "possession under 20 grams" has no waiver. Meaning, under immigration laws he would have no chance. His best bet is to try to fix his record through the criminal court. It is recommended you hire an experienced attorney to handle this matter. This is not a simple case and may have other complications. The above is only general information and shall not be construed as legal advice. It is always recommend you consult with an attorney to review all the details of your case.

Can I come back to the US with a dismissed misdemeanor?

Immigration lawyer at Florido & Associates, P.A.
No you should have no problems in re-entering. Of course, you called always be questioned in a deferred inspection, but a dismissed misdemeanor is not enough to make you ineligible to re-enter.
