White Deer, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

The final decision is made by the immigration officer at the port-of-entry. Usually, immigration will not allow you to enter the US if you are the beneficiary of an I-130 petition, because immigration will assume that you have the intention of remaining in the US permanently. To overcome the presumption, you must submit satisfactory documentation at the border that your visit is only temporary and that you will return home before your authorized stay has expired.

What "papers" does your husband have? The answer will depend a lot on that answer. Also, for a medical visa it must be established that the treatment is not available in Honduras and that a place in the U.S. holds out hope for a cure.

The acts by themselves (speeding and public intoxication) are not deportable offenses, but you've done yourself no favors by not settling them. The current trend in the country for police authorities is moving towards leniency in deciding whether to contact ICE when persons who are not legal have minor incidents with the law. Even where ICE is contacted, it may exercise prosecutorial discretion in whether to detain or not. That being said, no one can guarantee you that you will not be detained by ICE if you turn yourself in on your outstanding warrants. But if you decide to do so, you might consider hiring or at least consulting with a local criminal lawyer who is aware of the practices of the authorities in your area. Also even if detained, you are still entitled to a hearing before the immigration court at which time you can bring up any and all defenses against removal that you have. Further if you have good equities, ICE may decide to exercise prosecutorial discretion and decline further action to remove you from the country.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
