Palm Coast, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

This situation is an example where people have further complicated matters by their actions.  This is a textbook reason why an experienced immigration attorney ought to have been contacted sooner.  There will be things that must be done before your mother in law can be petitioned again.  Perhaps, she is now inadmissible. Whether, how much, and how quickly it can be done remain unclear, but it is likely to take much longer than your family will want.  Therefore, it is easy to fall victim to a questionable opinion or speculation. As a result, I strongly recommend a paid consultation by Zoom or in person, with an ethically considerate immigration attorney, so that decisions can be made in your families best interests before your family is further impacted by the situation that was created by the departure and subsequent actions.

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. 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 situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

If the convictions are on his record, he will not qualify for relief based on what you have said.  However, it is always good to have an attorney look at the conviction paperwork and make an independent judgment about relief.  If your fiance doesn't have an attorney, he should get one.
