From an immigration standpoint, a person in this situation will typically either leave, or, maybe apply to switch to a B-2 visitor status. Also, the student may have contract rights against the school, if the school is in breach of an agreement.

How can I get my 23 year old husband his paper if he came here as a baby?

I am assuming that you are a U.S. citizen. You can file a petition for your husband. The whole process usually takes approximately 6 months to 1 year. If your husband has proof of admission, he can adjudicate his petition here. If not, he may have to go back to his country for consular processing.

My husband is in an immigration detention center, is it worth fighting the case?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
The answer to your question is that it is a difficult question to answer without knowing a little more information. My suggestion is that you spend the money on obtaining a consultation from a licensed, qualified and competent attorney who can provide you a detailed overview of the process, the time the process is expected to take, the likelihood of bond and the likelihood of success. Far too often, we see individuals like yourself who want to help who pay an attorney who offers nothing more than an indication that the attorney can help without explaining what "help" means. Truth is that sometimes it really is not worth the fight. But in order to really understand if it is worth the fight in any particular case, my advice is to consult with an attorney. There are folks that offer free consults, but my experience is that you get what you paid for. In my office we charge a standard consultation fee of $100 and I make sure that you understand all that you need to know to make an informed decision about what steps to take next. If you pay nothing for the consultation, the likelihood is that you will receive nowhere near the information that you need to figure out if it is worth paying for the fight. Looking at the information that you provided in your inquiry, it would appear that there is some fight that may be done in this case. But the only way to figure that out is to have conviction records in hand to determine whether the convictions render the client ineligible to pursue an application for benefits before the Immigration Court or whether there may be a path forward even with the conviction record. Again, someone who has the knowledge and expertise to figure that out is going to cost some money and I would suggest that finding the right attorney with whom to consult is the best way forward.
