My boyfriend is Guatemalan with no status in the USA, if we marry will he be deported?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
It depends on whether he has a criminal record or is just an overstay and what you status is (U.S. citizen, Permanent Resident, etc.) If you are a U.S. citizen you can petition him immediately after you get married. However, he will probably have to return to his home country for a period of time and go through consular processing.

How can I find out if my common law husband will ever be able to be here legally? He was deported and came back illegaly.

David Troy Cox
Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
This Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(a)(9)(A)(ii)(II) basically makes your husband inadmissible for 10 years.  If he is deported a second time (because he gets caught in the US) he is inadmissible for 20 years.  If the crime that made him deportable in the first place was considered an "aggravated felony" under immigration law, your husband is inadmissable forever. If the criminal conviction can be challenged, your husband may be able to reopen his immigration case, but that would be a long shot (and it would be expensive).

What can I do if my visa is cancelled due to misrepresentation?

Answered by attorney Bruce A. Coane (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Coane & Associates, PLLC
This is becoming a very frequent problem, that is, pregnant women with a visa, who are being turned away at the port of entry. I am seeing more and more of these cases. The starting point in dealing with a cancelled visa is to apply for a new visa. There is also always the option of litigating against the government to dispute what they've done.
