Sunrise, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

I don't know what you mean by CIMT list.  Immigration has a database that shows criminal records for foreigners.  There is no such thing as a CIMT list.  If the offenses in question qualify as crimes involving moral turpitude (and it it is not obvious that they do), the only way to address them is to challenge them directly.  For example, if your husband was convicted (and not merely arrested) for these offenses, then the conviction would need to be overturned before the immigration database could be updated.

I assume that your friend is not a US citizen unless part of his deportation process involved taking back US citizenship because he illegally obtained it. Otherwise US citizens are not deportable. If there was indeed such a mistake, it could be redressed by presenting proof of US citizenship to the US consulate or embassy, Department of Homeland Security, or suing in a federal court. If he is not a citizen, his ability to return to the States would depend upon what type of crime he served time for and what his reason would be to return to the States. That decision would be in the hands of a US consular officer and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). If he is able to come, the U.S. government may require a waiver of inadmissibility before giving him either nonimmigrant or immigrant visa.

Are your parents permanent residents now? If you are currently illegal along with your parents the first status to seek would be permanent residency if you have a sponsor. These are complicated cases to work through so I suggest you consult an attorney to evaluate both your parents' cases and your own and advise you of your options. If you want to schedule a consultation you may contact me as indicated below; we do charge for consultations but whatever fee you pay for the consultation would then be a credit toward the fees of your case if you retain me for work beyond the consultation.
