She might have learned from her mistake, but ICE has no sense of humor and is unforgiving. I am assuming that your mother is a green card holder, so my advice and suggestions will be pointed in that direction. If she is here illegally, then she has an additional ground for removal. Depending on the exact drug charges she was found guilty of or plead guilty to, she may or may not be deportable. Just because ICE says she is, doesn't mean that she is. She may also qualify for various waivers and other relief which will keep her in the U.S. She may also be eligible for bond, although ICE's will be that she is a mandatory detainee and is ineligible for bond. These case need to be fought before the Immigration Court. 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 your mother's arrest and criminal case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze her case and advise you and her of her options. Good Luck.

*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.
