I received a voluntary departure in February of 201 due to the fact I had a 2010 conviction which made me inadmissible. How soon can I get back to US.

An A-1 visa is for an ambassador, public minister, or career diplomatic or consular officer who has been accredited by a foreign government recognized by the United States and the members of that person's own family. These visas are largely controlled by the Department of State, and although we are not very familiar with diplomatic visas and their workings, I assume that the principles of diplomatic immunity would work to allow such an accredited individual to enter the US upon receiving the visa. The US could return the individual on the basis of being persona non grata, but that would be a further situation.

Will I encounter problems upon re entry from another country if I have a green card?

Justin Wang
Answered by attorney Justin Wang (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Sheppard Mullin
In general USCIS or CBP do not give too much hard time for derivative asylees if they travel back to their home country. Even for the principal applicants, once they receive green card, if they only travel to their home country occasionally for good reason, they would not face too much trouble when they return to the US.

Can I renew my F2 visa before my spouse with F1. Our status is valid till 2026

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
As you are renewing your visa, you should be able to renew without your spouse being present as the American consulate has already granted F-1 and F-2 visas to your spouse and you previously. You are of course subject to all other considerations of nonimmigrant visa renewal including showing that you and your spouse have been maintaining valid F-1/F-2 statuses in the States. On the possibility of renewing the F-2 visa in the US, the current immigration law does not provide for that convenience although such may happen in the future.
